2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline

Postby TrueDawg » Mon Jun 05, 2017 2:16 pm

Proposal is to move the trade deadline from week 8 to week 9.

Thoughts?

We've had lots of discussion about the trade deadline (particularly about getting rid of it) and I will never be in favor of playoff teams being able to bring in "ringers" to load up their teams the week before the playoffs start. It totally wrecks the competitive balance of the league. I mean there's a reason the NFL trade deadline is also week 8.

That said, I'm open to moving it back to week 9

I'm fine with week 9 but I don't see it as a huge change.

Week 9 sounds good. End of the day, its still fantasy. Also, best way to keep owners with losing records vested longer in the season, is keeping them active in trade talks.

Don't care. Pretty minor change...or not...either way.

I don't disagree with that. But I think you have to weigh that against the competitive balance of the league.

I don't think its right for the playoff teams to be able to acquire stud players the week before the playoffs start.

RJO, to save yourself time, just go ahead and make the rule change based on unanimous threads like this. Don't bother with a foregone-conclusion poll. :thumbup:

Yeah I wasn't planning to make a new poll thread for rule changes like this that are getting overwhelming support in the discussion thread. It's a waste of time.

I sent you a PM but it's sat in outbox - not sure if this new forum design alerts you to a new message?

Ok...I think we have consensus in this thread. I'm not going to post a redundant voting thread.

This rule change has passed. Trade deadline officially moved to the beginning of week 9.
