Free agent draft comps work like this:
At the end of the year, Elias ranks all the players base on their last two years. The top 20% are given type A status and the next 20% are given type C status. Type A or B free agents that are either signed before the arbitration deadline or offered arbitration but sign with other teams are given compensatory draft picks.
After the first round of the draft there is a supplemental round. Teams losing Type A and B free agents are each given a pick. The draft order is based on the reverse order of standings with all Type A teams going first.
The team signing the Type A free agent loses their first round pick to the team that lost the free agent (unless the signing team is scheduled to pick in the first 15 spots, then they lose their second round).
