Free agency is important, but there's gotta be incentives in the system to protect homegrown/drafted talent, otherwise teams in smaller markets would be just farms for the bigger markets, with them spending all the time and effort scouting, drafting, developing and grooming young talent, just to see them all bolt in free agency to LA & NY in their primes.
I know it's not the same, but if I have a relatively high paying job in the Yukon, and that position doesn't pay as much further south, I shouldn't see as being "penalized" for wanting to move south. I have a free choice to stay north and make more money, or take a pay-cut to go live where I want (most choices will come with some pros and some cons). The very existence of the Yukon job and the support it brings to the community depends on this differential in incentives (meaning it paying more).
