That and the lockout killed the trade market for fringe players. I was expecting a ton of #7 defenders and #13 forwards to be moved for picks before games started...but teams generally just went with their own guys rather than trying to bring someone in without having any knowledge of their system.
Except for the Islanders who claimed every defender that went on waivers.
I still think the time to move one of them was at the draft.
