I don't want to risk missing the season by having it start and then not being able to get everyone's schedule aligned. So, I'd go with the plan that Mark B. outlined earlier, with an online supplemental draft for the free agents.<br>

The number of unsigned players is too large and it doesn’t only affect those players. It could dramatically influence value of other players who might get bumped as a result of a signing.<br>
