Trade Early Or Wait Until The Deadline?

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
Things always get a little crazy around trade deadline time, but imagine the bind GMs will be in this year when they are faced with a roster freeze that extends over the Olympic break. The freeze begins Feb. 12 at 3 p.m. ET and ends Sunday, Feb. 28, just days before the 3 p.m. ET March 3 deadline.
A number of GMs told ESPN.com it will make for a frenzy once the roster freeze is lifted after the gold-medal game that Sunday in Vancouver. GMs who like to do their shopping early, like Peter Chiarelli of Boston, will find life a little more difficult this year.
“For me, if I can do a deal before the deadline, I try and do it,” he said. “Now I’ve got a two-week gap where I can’t do it.”
