Trade Deadline
Not really about FHM but man was that trade deadline this year one of the worst in a while... So boring with all the big deals getting done way before... although I guess it did make me think maybe in FHM2 we could have an hour by hour breakdown on the deadline day. where we get reactions from proposed trades on the same day, so we can work around things and iron out trades and stuff... think that would be really cool. Or make it an option if someone just wants to do the day how it is now.

Really? I thought this one was one of the best. Day of wasn't too special, but yesterday was pretty good. You jealous that the real life Arizona Coyotes are gonna put your dynasty to shame?

Thats the thing, today was pretty uneventful beside maybe the philly/tampa trade ! And meh they just shipped out a massive majority of their talent for a bunch of late ish picks... basically what I am in the process of doing right now behind the scenes of the Dynasty... if only you knew! Connor McDavid is mine this year!

Expectations of Canadians for the Trade Deadline are far different than our neighbors to the south.
Hype changes expectations. Canadian sport stations dedicate the entire day to a 9+ hour live broadcast. As a result they hype it for months because they need the viewers. Like you said, alot of trades happened earlier. Teams are looking for an advantage with their playoff push, and at the other end, teams looking to bottom out for the lottery, so the earlier the trade the better for them. With the cap now, it's far more likely for us to see huge deals at the draft / offseason vs. the trade deadline. I think we will soon see the day long live coverage get cut down to 3 hours...just don't know when that will be yet. Even Nick Kypreos runs out of stuff to talk about!

Oh to live in a world where hockey reigns supreme, I can only wish. However I did have my fun at the NHL draft this year.
