Under the previous UFA rules, if you were smart you could get a UFA for a good price by talking to a cap strapped team, you just had to be open and actually look for it. Now, I'm just not going to trade for any UFA that I can't re-sign myself. And if I need cap to sign a UFA, I'm just going to move a RFA of significant value and get my return that way, this won't result in good UFAs going to market, it just stifles the value of them.
