Trade Deadline Day is most likely overrated in Canada and underrated in the USA. It is generally not that exciting in a salary cap world, as the cap has done away with mega-deals. A contending team can’t just go out and add three veterans, price be damned. In my opinion this sucks, as there is nothing like a good old blockbuster, juicing up a team for playoff hockey.
Now, all of this isn’t to say that I will not be glued to Twitter/TSN/rumour mills with my friends and I blowing up each other’s phones. I have watched/actively followed Deadline Day for probably 15 plus years, and every year I keep coming back.
