I think this would still drop prices right after announcement, or in the very least make them much more volatile in the mean time.

If they take a dip a year out, Why not sell a year and half out instead to sell before the dip? Others may think the same so now the dip is 1.5 years out, so instead people sell 2 years out, and so on until the dip is the day after announcement. So I think most of the dip happens right away with some up and down in between the announcement and removal from RL.

Of course, they may just reprint them as uber mythic rares in which case the price won't drop at all and may even go up due to increased demand in the newer formats.
