Remove 60-day Trade Restriction Rule

I'm not in favor of doing this, necessarily, but due to the number of players that have been offered on the trade block, only to be forced off because the 60-day wait happens a few days after the trade deadline, I think it's worth opening up for discussion.
This proposal would do away with the 60-day trade restriction rule entirely, including both off-season signings and trades. If a player is under contract for your team, regardless of when you acquired him (off-season FA, just traded for him, whatever), you can trade him at any time prior to the trade deadline. No more waiting for 60 days to expire.
Note: This proposal does NOT apply to RFAs. You would still have to wait one year after signing/matching to trade them.

I lean so heavily no on this one.

I'll never be able to vote for this. Just no way this should become a ting.

Like I said in the opening post, I'd vote "no" as well, but I think we've had at least 3 players offered up for trade that I can think of that had to come back off the block due to the 60-day rule. I figured it might be something people wanted to discuss.

I just sum it up to some of the newer'ish members of the league forgetting about the players they just acquired/instant regret after 2-3 sims of what's happened.
Unless I'm mistaken it's been a byline that the game software doesn't allow for a player to be dealt after immediately being acquired.

I vote yes. Love proposals that add to the general activity of a league. Plus, it's a nice benefit for gms who inherit crappy teams.

There is a toggle within the game to apply the 60-day rule or not. Currently it's set to "on" but could just as easily be set to "off."
