"It'd be good to get a final decision on teams trading away their R1 picks and then signing comp eligible FAs without penalty - seems like a way around the rules whether done deliberately or not."

Instead of focusing on "punishing" teams who sign comp eligible FA's, we should concentrate on the former teams getting compensation. I think we should consider a return to the comp rules under the former CBA.
Or we should just eliminate compensation. A supp. Pick doesn't amount to much these days.

I believe that you must have a first round pick to sign a compensation FA unless you traded a pick that would have been protected

What problem are we trying to fix? Teams trading away their first round pick and then signing a FA, costing them a second? Firstly, this has hardly ever happened. Second, it is far more frequent for teams to sign multiple FAs, so some costing a second (or third, fourth etc). Saying GMs who have made a trade - even one to gain them a higher round 1 pick, cannot sign a FA artificially changes the market, giving other teams a big advantage.
What problems can it cause? Lots. An unfair system where some GMs are allowed to do something that other GMs cannot do - even when that is identical. Confusion, as well as situations where someone can complete a trade and win a FA in the same sim, pointless arguments.
Knock-ons? As above.
If there was a problem, and there isn't, with this happening frequently (Teams deliberately trading down solely to take advantage of the system are already in breach of the rules - this has NEVER happened deliberately in PBL history), then a much simpler solution is to turn off compensation altogether.
