2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
Proposal is to move the trade deadline from week 8 to week 9.
Thoughts?

Re: 2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
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.
Re: 2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
Week nine is fine

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.

Agreed I'm fine with either. 9 is fine
Re: 2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
Don't care. Pretty minor change...or not...either way.
Re: 2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
I don't disagree with that. But I think you have to weigh that against the competitive balance of the league.jimscafs25 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 5:58 pm ...best way to keep owners with losing records vested longer in the season, is keeping them active in trade talks.
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.
Re: 2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
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.Multiple Scorgasms wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2017 7:38 am RJO, to save yourself time, just go ahead and make the rule change based on unanimous threads like this.

I sent you a PM but it's sat in outbox - not sure if this new forum design alerts you to a new message?
Re: 2017 Rule Change Proposal - Trade Deadline
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.
