John,

Thank you for commenting here and giving us an update, however I do not believe this issue is settled.

Several owners brought up a question as to the draft order being the same as last year's (which I don't agree with BTW)....but my original question on this thread had zero to do with that.

My issue is that the FA draft order has not changed since it was originally posted earlier this winter (when it stated that "this isn't the final/actual order").

From what I understand, the actual FA draft order is not generated at that early time so that owners will not jockey for FA draft order position through trades. Bravard made this very clear why he keeps the FA draft order random, and a mystery until after trades are locked.... he does not want teams trading up or down in the FA1 draft.

The order that we now see before us, is the same order that has been up for months (at least in the 4 leagues I'm involved with...all contraction leagues). Maybe something is different with the generation of FA draft order with contracted leagues? I dunno. I know you said that you ran the draft order on Friday, but from the data I have, the order did not change.
