Well boys, it's that time of year again. Predictor is winding down, the battles for playoff spots are growing tighter and tighter, and the February 25th (Game Time) trade deadline is fast approaching. So, just like last season, here's how it will work.
Jmcook (Detroit) will sim the 24th (date TBA), and once it is posted, that will trigger the 24-hour trade deadline. This will be your last chance to make any deals before the stretch drive and, for 16 lucky teams, playoff drive. Hours and further info about this will be posted ASAP, but I strongly suggest if you haven't yet, to post your trade deadline blocks now in the trade block board.
Now, for something a little fun and new. I've seen it on some leagues I've been in in the past, and in most cases its resulted in more trading, further trade chat, and more fun. After reading this, post if your team is one of the following:
Buyer - Looking for upgrades here and there to beef up for a long playoff journey. Youth, prospects and picks are movable.
Seller - The GM who has given up all hope on a playoff berth, and will start the rebuild now for the upcoming season. Older stars will be trade bait, while picks and young talent will be targeted.
Neutral - All the Wild Card teams. Your team is unpredictable, and a playoff berth and plummet to the league basement are both within grasp. Trading could go in either direction.
Thanks boys, and good luck to all in the march towards our holy grail. The Stanley Cup!
