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

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.

although I would like to start free agency on a weekend, we've always started on a Monday so dates work for me.

Actually wanted to start it on the weekend, but that weekend is tax deadline and Easter, so seemed like a better idea on Monday.

Weekend works good for me as well, what time will it begin and this was probably brought up earlier, if someone can't pick when they are slotted to do so, can autopick get their pick in so the wait isn't as long? Just wondering..

Didn't even think about Easter that probably wouldn't have worked for a lot of people.
