I don't see how this would give teams an extra year of control. Rule 5 draft rules would still apply and option years.
40-man spots are so valuable it's hard to imagine someone surviving long enough to reach 8 years without having been a Rule 5 pick, run out of option years, or DFA'd to make room on the 40-man.
If you aren't on the 40-man after 7 years they would probably welcome the 8th year lol
Unless I'm misunderstanding what this means or missing some other scenario.
Who knows? Realistically I can't see how you'd give a high schooler anything above a 30 present hit tool - unless he's Alex Rodriguez or something. I'd still really like Veen but having some swing-and-miss issues against high school stuff does raise at least raise a small red flag.

I'd be quite happy with any of Lacy, Gonzales, Hancock or Veen.
Inb4 the Blue Jays take Garrett Mitchell, everyone is irate, then he turns out to be the best player in the draft!
The Yankees' Jasson Dominguez #49 on the Fangraphs list despite turning 17 just last week and no pro experience yet.
When was the last time we saw such an aggressive ranking on a J2 player? Or maybe it happens more often than I'm remembering.
Only him and two others younger than Orelvis Martinez on that list.
