Hi All,
Just some quick updates on the offseason
The 2022 Rule 5 Draft will take place beginning this Saturday January 29th at noon EST. Please see the rule 5 draft thread for details on how it works, who's eligible, draft order, etc. Big shout out to Jon for getting everything set up for the draft!

Primary Free Agency will begin one week later on Saturday February 5th at noon. As has been the cast in the past, only 10 free agents may be bid on at a time. Unlike in years past, we're going to try out letting the GMs open their own starting Free Agents at the start of the primary free agency. Each GM may open 1 free agent starting at noon, up until the limit of 10 free agents open has been reached. If by 12:30pm, the 10 player limit has not been reached, GMs who already opened bidding on a player may open bidding on 1 additional player. If the limit of 10 active auctions is exceeded, bidding on any players beyond 10 will be cancelled and the thread closed and deleted (to be determined by the system time that bidding was opened). As always, please pay close attention to your cap space and don't bid more than you have or can readily cut/non-tender down to.
Good luck to all!
