So it would make sense for the Vs to keep some of their financial powder dry until that happens in case they can snag someone special on the FA market flood next year. Assuming they are considering that, how might that affect their choices this year (expansion draft, draft, and FA)?

The obvious answer is that they will probably not overpay anyone or select anyone they consider overpaid but, in my quest to understand the nuances better, are there any more subtle choices the looming FA event might affect? ]]

My understanding is that because the CBA will be re-negotiated after 2025, everyone is expecting salaries to go up, so almost every free agent is signing deals that expire at the end of 2025. So I assume GSV will be in the same position for their free agents (leaving only rookies and existing contracts as multi-year contracts).

I guess there could be some 3D chess where GSV avoids drafting multi-year contracts in order to keep max financial flexibility. On the other hand, these multi-year contracts have the potential to be really great deals when the cap goes up.

play-off format changes are a big improvement, especially the switch from 2-1 home vs away - that was nice for travel but too big an advantage and also meant in practice one team's fans often had no home game in the series.
