Thought we might as well get this organized sooner rather than later.
The NHL trade deadline is February 27th at 3pm. Our last regular season match up runs until the 26th of February.
It would be, therefore, possible that two teams make a deal on the 27th (which would be during week one of our playoffs technically) and would have access to those players in week two of round one.
Everyone OK with that scenario?
For me, that would be fine. It is always fun to see where players go and if we freeze trading too early then we know too little and miss a bit of the fun.
For me, I would say that both bidding and trading should have the same freez date. Simpler.
February 27th?

In previous years we've had the trade deadline a fair bit earlier, but it appears that I have not been around to offer my two cents the last week or so.
Personally, I'd prefer the trade deadline to be a minimum of one week before the playoffs start, but perhaps that is something we'll need to vote on either this year or next.

In the future we should maybe move our deadline to a lilttle bit better time. 3pm doesn't give guys who are working much of a chance to do any last minute trading. Unless your the GM of a hockey team you prolly got a regular job working till 5

I guess we will add this to the list of items that we need to vote on now the regular season is finished. I agree that the trade deadline should be at least a week prior and say midnight of that day so people can get home from work or whatever and still be able to get something done. A week before allows for the trades to go through for week one of the playoffs and not week two like this year. Not that this will hav much effect on my team this year! Hehehe.
