As was discussed in XAT earlier, in the least Type A/B should go away. There's multiple example where Type B players have received much higher than Type A players. The process would be the same.
1. JHC's formula to determine who qualifies.
2. Calculated salaries to determine fallback.
3. Highest total contract value then determines the draft order.
4. There would be just one compensation round, between the first and second round.
5. Teams would lose a 5th if one player signed, 5th and 6th if two players signed, and 4th-6th if three players signed.
I will acknowledge Sean's suggestion to award the compensation round order to the highest salary, rather than the highest total offer. The problem I have with it is it would value a $9M for 1 year offer over a $7M for 4 years offer. Both ways can have their issues, but a longer offer speaks for the team feeling that the player will hold their value better than a one year offer.
