Answer: They can only sign 2 rookies at this average rate.

The Kodiaks have $10 million to spend on their draft choices. Each rookie averages about $4 million according to the problem.

Therefore, the most that they could sign would be 2 rookies for $8 million. If they tried to sign 3 for $12 million, they would be over the salary cap.
