They wouldn't if the ELC maximum was raised and there was a cap limit. No team would be able to sign more than one or two of the best prospects without letting one go. There are many measures that could be put into place. Unless you are worried that the best prospects will sign for a minimum with one team, but I seriously doubt that would happen.

In this situation, a team already loaded with prospects would be forced to miss out on the big fish the following season without trading from their current stock.
