2017 Schedule: Free Agency and Draft Dates

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

Can we vote on the draft start date? Wouldn't mind seeing that closer to June. Otherwise, looks good all around

I think those dates are fine. You aren't going to please everyone for certain. If you leave it up for votes, the majority of GMs are going to vote the earliest options anyway.

I love the Saturday draft start. For me personally, it insures I'll be around most of the time for at least the first 2 rounds, if not more.
