Why? If they have to sign with the team that drafts them, they will simply request a trade if they still don't like it. Do you really want a player on your team that doesn't want to be there? I don't. Maybe make it so you keep a prospects rights for a couple more years (at least European Prospects) and you can reduce the probablity of this happening as it gives more time to sign them, and an improved likelyhood they will change thier mind about a team for the better.
