Re: Rule Change (part deux): Concerning players waived during the playoffs...
The REASON rosters are "frozen" during the playoffs is precisely so they can't interfere with the bidding process for teams still in postseason playoffs. IMPROVING ONE'S TEAM should never be "frozen" for some & not for others. The one-year, non-RFA contract status precisely keeps it that way for those playoff teams. They don't get an unfair advantage over other non-playoff teams.
When players already under contract are cut during the playoffs, if every team can make a claim on them, NO TEAM HAS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. And every team has the same chance to better their roster, should they choose to do so.
It's really not rocket science. At least where I stand... but hey, I'm in the islands.
