Personally, I don't have a problem with the date being pushed back. Couldn't care. Just hope this isn't an issue every time with waiver drafts, June drafts, trade deadlines, etc.
In my 30 team salary league, we had free agency in January. I was in Australia the entire month and when I had time and access, I would check and make bids. I wasn't able to give my full attention to it unfortunately but oh well.
