Update #3 (9:08 PM EDT): Heyman adds that free agent compensation will still exist, just not involving first-round picks.
*
Update #2 (9:06 PM EDT): Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports that while there will be no international draft, international signings will be capped at around $5-6 million per team per year.
*
Update (8:55 PM EDT): Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that the new CBA will have a luxury tax threshold starting at $195 million and rise to $210-215 million over the span of the five-year deal. Sherman also hears that the new CBA will have a 60-70 percent penalty for those who go far beyond the threshold, aimed at those with payrolls around $250 million or greater.
Sherman adds that there will be no 26th roster spot as previously speculated. The current 25-man roster with expanded rosters in September will remain.

8:20pm: Only teams that are over the luxury tax threshold will be required to give up a pick to sign a qualified free agent, Jon Heyman of Fan Rag tweets. That would represent a rather monumental change to the qualifying offer system. It would also come with some interesting practical impacts, as teams might conceivably seek to drop under the luxury tax line to avoid the necessity of draft compensation, though of course that won’t be of nearly as much importance if first-round picks are in fact taken off the table.
