I think a player who doesn't sign should at least lose a year of eligibility to be drafted.

well very few players make money in endorsements, i doubt a mid range 1st rounder has that concern.
secondly, these are humans, not serfs. if they dont want to sign with the club that drafted them, then they shouldnt forced to just because some fans think its a problem.
how about we balance this issue, just as you think every player MUST sign with the club that drafted them, in exchange the club MUST sign every player they draft?
why does the team get that option but the player doesnt?
