Redraft: Eliminated Teams Trading

[Dynasty_Analyst]

Wanted to get y’all’s thoughts on this and I’m sorry I didn’t post in the redraft forum because I was looking for more than 1 response . I’m in mostly dynasty leagues but in a 20 team redraft. Mathematically eliminated guy keeps sending out offers and I just can’t help but have a problem with it. If your eliminated you can just send crazy trades because you don’t care . Could be picking favorites etc. Anyone else have any thoughts or seen this done ?

Assuming it's the same group of cats from year to year, is there some sort of consolidation bracket for non playoff teams? Does the winner of that get first pick of next year's draft, or rename all the non playoff for next year? Or, if you're outta the playoffs, there's nothing left for you?

Out of the playoffs nothing happens I suppose there’s a consolation bracket no one pays any attention to

It's highly unethical for an eliminated team to make trades in redraft. Any attempt should be vetoed. I would not want to play with a character like this in the future.

If there's no value to the consolidation bracket, nothing to be won,then eliminated teams shouldn't trade with playoff teams.

What should be done if they try (or are successful) is another thing entirely.

The one thing to consider is that {provided the owners are sensible and conscientious} eliminated teams still will have an effect on the playoff picture and if they are making trades to improve their own team then they are playing the role of spoiler and whether they trade with playoff teams or other eliminated teams shouldn't matter. Also if you have a reasonable trade deadline most teams should still be in contention when trading cuts off so there shouldn't be a major impact on the league

Are the trades fair? If so then who cares? Perhaps that owner wants to play spoiler the rest of the way. Id much rather have an active owner who is still trying to compete and win than the owner who was eliminated and thus is a cupcake win for my opponents because he still has CMC and Kittle on his IR.
