New Compensation

[AndyP]

I know on my end if DJ is not there, I don't want to deal with this headache at the draft. If a 2nd round is too much of a cost, make the compensation for A a 3rd round and B a 4th round. I would rather keep the process simple and do what the game allows us. Rather than come up with a system outside the game that will complicate matters. I like the concept in theory but come the night of the draft, this is going to be a headache to keep up with.

Mike nailed it. If you keep dropping the compensation received then you eliminate the desire for teams to release players. Compensation exists to make free agency possible, to keep talent moving around (ala real life), but also to give teams who are doing this for the betterment of the league some kind of incentive/reward.

Your suggestion makes it worse on both fronts compared to the suggestion posted. Signing teams would give up a higher pick and releasing teams would get a lower pick.

The sandwhich round isn't going to be that awful. It's recording 10-15 players paper and pencil and the round they have to be picked. Which you also don't have to worry about until the draft has tapered down to the fifth and sixth.

Who loses on this?
