OK, here's an idea that Liquid suggested yesterday that I didn't think was possible. After playing around with it a little and getting input from a couple different people, I think we may have something that will work and hopefully make everyone happy.
- The money for compensation would stay the same. Type A = $13mil+, Type B = $9-13mil.
- Instead of being awarded the signing team's pick, Type A would be awarded a pick between the 1st and 2nd round. Type B would be awarded a pick between the 2nd and 3rd round.
- Draft order for the sandwich rounds would be determined by AAV. Meaning the team losing the highest paid player would pick 1st, etc.
- Sandwich round picks cannot be traded.
Comments, complaints, suggestions?
If we do decide to go this route, I'd like to implement it before Free Agency starts. This means delaying the sim until Thursday because it might change how some teams approach Free Agency.
Technical Details
- The only downfall is the draft log will be screwed up. The 2nd and 4th rounds would be sandwich rounds.
- To accomplish this, I'd make the draft 2 rounds longer than it actually is. So 17 rounds under the current rules.
- I'd create a bunch of players in the draft class named "Sandwich Round". So if there were only 4 sandwich picks, I'd fill out the rest of that round with these players. I'd then release them and delete them after the draft.
