When are we able to start using next season's contract points? Will we have a chance to use them before all our 1-yr contract players go into the free agent pool?

next season start next season after the draft, the resigning before the draft are of last yrs players that hopefully u already resigned

Ok, so looks like I'll be trying to get some of my old players in free agency then. Or do we have any kind of Restricted Free Agent status where I can sign them using next years' points before free agency?
