The point is IDP's tendered at 1st round levels should be few and far between. The lower the tender level, the more 1st round tenders there will be, and very few IDP's overall, (maybe 3) have the value of a 1st round pick.

The higher tender levels are to put the compensation more in line with the players value if the tender isn't matched. The lower the level, the easier it is to slap a higher compensation tag on the player. The higher the tender, the fewer 1st round tenders there will be for IDP's (hopefully none IMO).

IDP's just don't have that value, and thus don't deserve lower tenders.

Thanks for the explanation, I guess it is hard to get used to the idea of having less value equating to higher tenders.
