Tentative Rest of Season/Offseason/Expansion Schedule

[rubisco43]

All that I ask is you guys be prepared for it and know who you want to select. Also, make sure you're not expecting to pick guys who are automatically protected because they were selected in the 1980 or 1981 drafts.

damn, i did not know about this rule. too late to update my protected list?

Andrew, I just wanted to thank you for the flexible schedule. With a 48+ hour work week, going to school full time, and a family I figured getting the expansion draft done with me there would be tough, but the schedule looks good. Thanks!

BTW, what time will we be doing the expansion drafts?

No problem. It actually helps with my wedding being this summer because I don't want to start FA before a big break.

Nights after 9 ET are usually best for me, but I'll be flexible to whatever is good for you guys. I also might task some other current owners to help run the draft.

We have 4 sims or so to complete the draft, but we're not relegated to just "sim days". This should give plenty of time to get through it.

Sounds good, when are we going to get access to that magic "scouts off" file?

Honestly, if we can start at 7 ET or so, that would be best, as I have to leave for work at 10:30 PM, but whatever is best for the group.

No, go ahead and update it.

You'll get it after the playoffs end on the 26th. The draft then starts on the 31st so you'll have 5 days to prepare.

Nights after 9 are fantastic, I get home from work at about 6:30 so that's ideal. You and chippered have busier schedules than me, so whatever is best for you after that time works.

So what happens for tonight?

Everyone just needs to have their protection lists submitted? Nothing else?

[mahoney2]

Any change in the schedule with the new developments?

Any change in the schedule with the new developments?

The start of the expansion draft might get pushed back to 8/2. The guys will get a league file either tonight or tomorrow night and then we can start when they're ready.

[Spectre]

Whatever you want Andrew, I'm good any day for the draft.

That's pretty much what I heard.

Fantastic, after I get home from work (long day today) I gotta do some homework :)

[Ryan]

If it works for Spectre, Tuesday would be the best day to start for me.

[Pat]

Couldn't we just start it as soon as the league file is ready?

I mean, if there is no time limit, each team could just make a pick when they get a chance.
