With the way Judd is playing the field the question I have is how is this better than free agency?

If players are allowed to basically demand where they want to play as soon as their contracts expire then clubs are receiving almost no protection whatsoever for their investments. As happened with Stevens there is the very real possibility that a player of great value can be lost to a club that drafted and developed him for absolutely no return. Under an intuitive free agency system this would be totally averted.
