Rules overall look OK...BUT

I think implementing the UFA rule immediatly is a farce. For the active GM's like myself that have made moves all year to build a solid team with current UFA rules in mind, only to have that taken away a week out from the deadline becomes a complete waste of time.

How do I know by the trade deadline I want to sign Rick Nash when I don't even know what his rating will be? Especially considering that rule is also changing.

The UFA rule in particular should be for 2015-16 season, to do this a week out from trade deadline is ridiculous.
