I think part of what makes the game worthwhile is having GMs draft and sign UFAs. The plan is to have v3 start with those events rather than let them play out in real life.
I see your point, which then brings up an even more confusing set of questions.
Would v3 follow the real life draft order? This is a sweet deal for whoever is assigned as the NEW GM of Buffalo.
In order to allow the in game GM's a chance to draft who they want, which I also agree with, the v3 draft should be held within a few days of June 1st so we can all have time to put our new prospect lists together prior to our new team pages being posted.
Following that I would think free agency should open the day after the v3 draft is held. Again so we all have a chance to put the pieces in the right place on team pages prior to being posted. Unless we create and post our new team pages right after they are assigned.
Again, just thoughts, not meant to be set in stone.
And I really do agree with what you said.
