The way the "slots and bonus pool" for the draft is constructed, there is a big incentive for a club to select a player who is not necessarily the best or highest ceiling, but the one that will sign and save a couple million for getting better picks later.

But isn't this the last year the draft will be done this way? I mean it's possible nothing will change after negotiations but I wonder if a team will do something crazy to point out a flaw or loophole in the current draft system.
