I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a quick search.
This past offseason I had a type A free agent sign with a team that netted me the 32nd in this year's 1st round. I ended up drafted a guy that is a "may sign if the price is right" kind of guy. I'm still waiting for his decision, but if he comes back with a yeah I'm not signing, or I'll sign if you pay me more, and I pass, will I get a type D comp for him the next season?
I don't think this would matter, but just in case, we are in the throws of a rebuild, after a long successful run, life got in the way and I had to move this team, the next owner made a handful of deals to start the rebuilding process, but then decided to "skip town" as life/work began to normalize, I filled back in for the owner for last season, then ended up deciding to stick around. As a result, the budgets are not where I'd want them to be for a normal rebuild (13 college, 1 for HS) plus I didn't see a ton of talent that I really liked. My normal pick was #26, where I drafted a "probably won't sign" guy, so I'm assuming he'll say no or come back with a larger request at a minimum, and I'll get my Type D. If I do get Type D for him, would it kill getting an additional Type D comp pick next season for the guy I got at 32 (if I'm even eligible to get a Type D for him to begin with)? Both guys are decent prospects, they'd eventual fill a hole on the ML team, but neither are anything super special either, the kind of picks you'd expect near the end of the 1st round.
I'm guessing I'll pick somewhere in the late teens, early 20s next season w/ my natural pick. Don't really love the idea of having 3 1st round picks (not to mention a few likely Type A and Type B free agents of my own), but I figure with a 17 in college budget I'm probably likely to see guys at least as talented as these guys, with a shot at seeing guys significantly better.
