I think this will be a major topic in 2021 when we anticipate a work stoppage / new CBA.

I have never ever heard a team justify letting a guy test FA because they valued getting a comp pick in return.

If you want to argue that it punishes teams that do not draft well in the first place and have to glean talent from other teams' rosters at inflated prices, we can do that. But calling out a team that doesn't find a guy worth a fortune is misguided. Part of the comp pick formula is incoming FA signings too, so either the team getting picks is playing it cheap and not acquiring other players, or they have been wise and previously acquired guys to absorb the loss.
