And that is why I think trading should not be allowed during playoffs. It gives unfair advantage to teams not in the battle.
the 'loser' teams already get advantages, on a gradient for how far from the cup they are, in the draft. That's not unfair. In my head, trades in the playoffs are similar.
Plus, a team making a trade during the playoffs is limiting their options so there is a (small) potential disadvantage for them as well. (Ignoring that the definitely check in with teams still playing.)
If boston thought edmonton might make a better partner for an ullmark trade, they would wait. What i'm saying is, no one that gets traded during the playoffs is of any concern to teams still playing.
As for the idea the trades take attention from the playoffs. I mean, if someone thinks they do i'm not going to change their mind. But i strongly disagree.
except for the martinook-kruger trade; that was definitely huge.
