Trades during the Lockout?
 

Can they still happen or does there need to be a CBA in place for there to be trades?

im pretty sure they can but no one will; and the commish won't approve of any.

their always talking, tho

They probably have a few planned if cap stays/drops.

No trades of NHL contracts can take place during the lockout, teams can trade players on AHL contracts that are on two way contracts

This doesn't make sense. Two-way contracts are NHL contracts.

but the player is on the AHL part of their contract and that is the part that can get traded. I think this happened once during the last lockout--minor deal

Really? who got traded during the last lockout cause i don't remember any trades at all...

career ahlers who happened to be on two way contracts--trying to remember their names for the life of me. They weren't nhlers.

Are you talking about guys that were on AHL contracts? Like, actual AHL contracts, not two-way NHL deals? If that's what you're thinking of, I don't think NHL teams have anything to do with trading them or not and that's why they could be moved.

Players on two-way contracts can't be traded, only players who have AHL-ECHL contracts

afaik:
trades of nhl contracts or 2-way contracts cannot be made.

ahl gm's (often nhl teams' assistant gm's) can, however, make trades regarding AHL-only or AHL-ECHL 2-way contracts.

2004-05

FLA loaned Eric Beaudoin to EDM's AHL team in January

DET loaned Nathan Robinson to CLB for loan of Jeff Panzer in March

AFAIK you can't talk trade when locked out
