I had a thought today about the deadline. I would like to make an adjustment to the rules, whihc I feel should have the other member's approval. I feel most of you will agree. As it stands the final injury trades must be by Januray 28th at 10:00 pm. It occured to me that it would suck if someone had a goalie or defensement injure themselves one or two weeks before this deadline and then find themselves unable to trade them but they are injured four weeks or more. So the rule change I propose is that the deadline will remain the same but if a player is injured before the deadline they are availiable to trade if the injury is four weeks plus. To reiterate: The January 27th deadline means- player must be injured before this day to qualify for a possible trade, if injured after all-star break, it's just bad luck. Post a response in the Trades section under my "off-topic" post with your thoughts or concerns. No response will mean that all is good and I will go ahead with this implementation.
