If a player from Franchise A is bid on in the first or second round, and the GM for Franchise A is picking 1 or 2 new FPs, and has not had his first or second pick yet. Matching that player does not make that player the new FP correct?
Are the players that are matched therefore be picked in Franchise A's 3rd and or 4th slots?

Actually it does.... i.e. if Franchise A hypothetically happened to be the Knights Templar, who were drafting a new FP, and say the Highlanders bid on Weber with the first pick overall -if the Knights match on Weber then he is an FP with the 3rd overall pick. And so on.
Brian is right. FP drops are made before the entry draft. If you drop one FP your first selection, matched or otherwise, will be your new FP.
If you drop two FPs, your first two selections would be your new FPs (matched or otherwise).
You can't choose to match in any different order than players are bid upon so, again using Mike as an example, if you drop both Hejduk and Tanguay you have to pick two new FPs with your first two picks. Your first pick, 3rd, is C Getzlaf ANA - great pick btw, how he fell to you I don't know - and you now have to wait for your second pick for your next FP. If you want to pick Weber as your next FP you will have a decision to make if someone bids on Kopitar. If you match on Kopitar before Weber has been matched then Kopitar is your 2nd pick and your 2nd FP.
Brian and Doug are correct. When I made Heatley an FP he was an RFA I intended to match for that purpose, but Bob selected my RFA Luongo first - meaning I had a choice, I could match on Luongo and make him my FP, or I could let him go and select/match on Heatley.
I chose to lose Luongo.
I think Cam mentioned something awhile back about making a huge offer to you for Weber ... to take this problem off your hands. Or some such comment. ;-)
