Trade Well Is Dry

from The Good, The Bad and The Duthie,
Usually by now, the NHL trade total is well into double-digits (we were already at 11 last year, and even that was low). But now that we are into the 3rd year of the cap, and parity has settled in, The Art of the Deal is dying. It’s tough to make trades work financially, and the panic moves we used to see from teams who start slowly have disappeared. Everyone is still in the hunt, so everyone is willing to wait.
For guys like me, who depend on trade-talk to liven up panel discussions, this is not good news. If you see me doing a 8-minute retrospective on the “Sutherby Blockbuster” on Trade Deadline Day, you have permission to shoot me.
