I think there should be some reasonable compensation to the team that loses the player (I.eCanes). Like a second rounder. Make it less enticing for teams to sign these guys without giving up something decent.
I don’t like it either. I would prefer some alternative like maybe having a supplemental draft for college UFAs.
