Edit to add: I've already gone over why it might be more favorable for a team to go with the lower price and use compensation to make up the difference rather than paying the max price.

What about what Mike said about other teams still having the chance to bid over that lower price (thus creating a bidding war, until the market sets it's price)?
Also did you use the wrong word or maybe you're just thinking along the same lines as us the whole time? "I've already gone over why it might be more favorable for a team to go with the lower price and
use compensation to make up the difference rather than paying the max price."
So you're really with us Joe?
Trading players for decline is making up compensation.
If so then you just differ in the argument that the market doesn't set the price. Correect?
