Sooner the new GMs are in place the better, I personally would've liked a day or two with my roster before getting bombard by trade offers.Goodell wrote:We often do a poll about what days work best for people to start free agency and the draft. After looking at some of the check-in comments about scheduling conflicts and some posts otherwise, I think these dates make sense. We'll pencil these in for now. It's difficult to get perfect times that work for 100 people across 5 leagues, but we try to be accommodating when possible especially if multiple people impacted.
Week of 4/10: New GMs added, some transactions unfrozen (tagging, LTCs, waiving players, restructures, trades).
Mon 4/17: Start of Free Agency
Sat 5/6 - Tues 5/9: College Draft
Actually wanted to start it on the weekend, but that weekend is tax deadline and Easter, so seemed like a better idea on Monday.stevebarrett24 wrote:although I would like to start free agency on a weekend, we've always started on a Monday so dates work for me.
Didn't even think about Easter that probably wouldn't have worked for a lot of people.Goodell wrote:Actually wanted to start it on the weekend, but that weekend is tax deadline and Easter, so seemed like a better idea on Monday.stevebarrett24 wrote:although I would like to start free agency on a weekend, we've always started on a Monday so dates work for me.
