If a trade goes through that results in one person getting one less draft pick, can we sign free agents at the end of the draft to round out our roster?
Yeah, I'm curious about this too. I kind of like the idea of having a short FA period after the draft. Would make completing trades easier (I think).
No free agents.
Teams need to have at least 12 players, and a max of 13 (non-overseas) players.
Teams with 12 players will be assessed a $490k roster charge.
Might I make a general recommendation that traders then match picks? I.e. don't trade two picks for one, instead trade two picks for one pick and one last-rounder.
I don't particularly like that rule. We tried that one year, and I felt that it limited GMs' creativity. Rather, I'd prefer to let GMs figure out how to balance their rosters properly.
As a "best practices" thing I don't mind it, but I don't want it to be a hard and fast rule.
