I myself am in no particular rush. I can imagine how time would be of the essence for any manager here considering the league will take a couple of months to complete once it gets started anyway.
I did post a note about ineligible players but I didn't list Gagne, I must have missed him, I feel stupid. It's an easy mistake to make and I don't think he should be penalized for it. I say give him 24 hours, and if he does not retract his pick by then, we move on. He will then make one last pick after the draft is over. I will also be open to letting him have exclusive drafting rights to Gagne if he wants in the 80's portion of it if he ends up keeping him.
As far as trades go, I did not want players traded in the seasons because I wanted the same players to be on the same teams in both seasons, so trades made pre-autodraft are fine as long as players swapping hands are doing so in both the 70s and 80s
Meaning, if You trade Schmidt for Brett, it's 70's and 80's Schmidt for 70's and 80's Brett. not just the 70's version for the 70's version.
Lastly since we're being specific about the number of players drafted, the trade has to include an equal number of players.
