Still think there needs to be an additional rule that says "If a player is offered a maximum value ELC by his drafting team, that team retains his RFA rights even after this time period has concluded. After the expiry of the initial time period the player will be an RFA free to negotiate with other teams, but compensation would have to be provided."
So players can be come RFAs, but not full UFAs, which I think is fair. Because if a team offers the player the max ELC value it's because they want to keep him.
