In the stated rules it says:Highest Salaried Card belongs to Franchise that drafted him, but that is pre waivers. If someone ends up with player that belonged to another owner - a trade must be made to rectify.
Using Oak EXP hitting as an example, if a manager selects them, they should know that McGwire "belongs" to the Cardinals EXP hitting franchise since that franchise has the highest value card for McGwire. If the OAK EXP manager does select McGwire and he gets him on his roster, he is required to give him back - is that correct? The "trade" component is simply a way to get the player back to correct team, and the owner giving back the player should not expect anything compensatory except "Player X" (i.e., some player he'll most likely need to drop)?

I would certainly think (and hope) that's the case - one of the big reasons I selected the Cards EXP. I'm wondering by stating "pre-waivers" that the commish is setting a time limit on the exclusivity of those rights. That if for some dumb ass reason I wouldn't have selected McGwire on my initial auto-draft, then he's fair game during the waivers and post-waivers or free agency period - but only to the OAK EXP owner. Does that make sense?
