If the risk of having to keep a guy for 3 months and pay him 4M over that time keeps you from comping a guy, then he probably wasn't getting comped anyway.
I agree. This is a solution to something that isn't a problem. If you want to fine people the other half of that first year of the contract to prevent this or even the full contract, go for it if you're feeling punitive. But preventing another team from trading for a player is an unintended consequence that hurts more than this (unnecessary) rule would help.
