Compensation Question

Playing in 1999

Ive noticed that the First Year draft is schedule for December 12. Im assuming this is the default date, as Ive never changed it.
I have a Type A and a Type B Free Agent declaring Free Agency.

Do they have to sign before the draft for me to get the compensation? Ive realized I seem to always miss these Compensation picks.
If this is the case can I change the date for June or something at this time. Im like a week away.
Thanks.

I run into this too. Best solution is move the draft to December 31st. Doesn't solve it but does mitigate some. If you move it to June, you'll get the wrong draft class.
