Love seeing HO telling it like it is.

You create, retire, create and try to retire again in the same season... you don't get to apply tpe on the 3rd player for that season.

If you wanna be on a team so bad, and a team wants you so bad that they are willing to cheat the system to do it, make it so that team has a season of dead weight.

Then for season 2 they are auto retired, but leave that part out until the day before the season starts.

Maybe not exactly that, but definitely something like that. There's no way to control who goes where when, even less so judge people's draft value before or during a draft, but you can restrict what people can and cannot do with retiring and recreating.

I like the idea of not being able to apply TPE for a while, I was going to say people just shouldn't be able to recreate between being drafted and the next TDL/Offseason. Maybe both: you can either retire and recreate at the TDL, or play it out at 155 and retire and recreate at the offseason post (cause you couldn't have your drafted player and a DFA in the league at the same time).
