It was brought up in the chat and I don't think it's a bad idea to explore. The idea is simple, to no longer allow Comp FAs to immediately be traded if returned. They would be treated like a normal 2 year FA signing and not be eligible to be traded until after Sim 6 (July 1).
Comp fallback contracts have been viewed like arbitration deals, just like Comp FAs were viewed under the old Comp system in real life. With the 2 year contracts that we do, there could certainly be reason to suggest that they shouldn't be able to be traded.
I'm probably not alone in thinking that there's too many unworthy comps made in re-signings in the hopes that someone bails you out with a bid. I think doing this could cut back on a few comp FAs when people know they'd be stuck with the player for at least half a season.
