As we did not reach a consensus on this I am a bit confused by the implementation. 

Now the Buyout/Amnesty deadline is 1 sim AHEAD of Trade Deadline, backwards IMO.

with the deadlines this way the last time a player can join a team outside of direct signings is for sim 11 regardless of avenue

there was no consensus on a solution imo because everyone was using different terminology and confusing the issue, but there was a consensus on there being a problem in the first place, and now it's solved
