Yes, if they're on IR in any capacity they cannot be traded, but if they're simply out of the lineup due to injury they can still be dealt.Can someone explain this to me please. I thought injured players couldn’t be traded. Was that an old rule that’s been changed? Or if the player is on IR or LTIR, then he couldn’t be traded? Because for example, Frederic is currently injured but got traded
Avs did this a while back when they traded for Patrik Nemeth 2.0, he missed the first few games with a wrist injury, then proceeded to cement his legend in the eyes of the COL faithful that postseason.
