As for the playoff cap... do it.

Agreed that it's past time to fix the LTIR loophole.  The best option I've heard is to require each team's roster to be at or under the regular season per-game salary cap.  This will probably be seen as too restrictive, but hopefully a small (10%, not more than 15-20% for sure) increase can be agreed to.

Oh, and congrats to the Panthers, and to Sam Bennett for the Conn Smythe.  Pretty sure we can put to bed any chance he's coming to MN now, his price just went waaay up.

Wouldn't 10% be an additional $9.5M contract?

It seems like 5% should be sufficient.

Definitely shouldn't be more than 10%.

Yes, agreed. I knew that the number shouldn't be excessive, but I didn't complete the math. 5% to maybe 10% should more than enough.
