free agent signing period calendar

The signing period for FAs is rapidly approaching and we'll have answers regarding whether we'll be signing anyone and who. I, for one, find this a very interesting period since it gives us an idea of what McX think about our current team and how they want to go about fixing our problems. Also, our draft strategy is going to be partly contingent upon which FAs we sign.

An added attraction for this year's signing period could be trades, since some teams might choose to trade RFAs as a way of acquiring players in a year when fewer UFAs are available. It's hard to predict what will actually happen since it's a novel situation for everyone.
