Not all top tier teams are "old geezers." Anyways, why does releasing low salary Free Agents mean they have to stop "feeding the big dogs." Can't they do both?
Also, when new managers sign up, most probably have the expectation or goal that eventually, with good management, they should be able to make it to D1. It might take them 5 seasons, 10 seasons or longer, but the point is they should be able to make it to the top eventually. If players at the top are super expensive, newer teams, once they reach the highest level, simply won't be able to compete with the more established D1 teams.
Look, if high quality players are relatively cheap, it doesn't really affect new teams. Div 4 teams aren't competing with Div 1 teams. But once the newer teams promote into D2 or D1 they'll have an easier time competing, if prices are lower, because they will be able to afford high quality players.
