I've been looking for a NT level guard for the past couple weeks and there hasn't been too many options.
I've been looking every day for a guard, maybe not at the NT level but pretty high up there. The issue for me is not the lack of options (I see about 6 that I would take at the moment). The issue for me is that I can't afford them.
I'd argue that the amount of top quality players on the market has been lower as of late.
In terms of NT guys, the issue is probably different than what you are thinking. Having an NT player on your team is now much more valuable. It is one reason why I would probably not sell Wendon - well at least until he no longer can play for the NT.
For non-NT types, the only change there is the elimination of free agents.
I'd argue that the reasoning behind this is that the inflated market is scaring many managers away from placing their top guys on the TL.
I kind of doubt this as the BBs have said they will not let inflation get out of control. My impression is that they are waiting to see if prices will stabilize once we can no longer change arena prices every day. If not, I'm guessing we will see free agents on the market again, or some other type of price stabilization.
If you're looking to sell, now is the best time to get the highest price, in my opinion.
