S81 mPT #4: Too Dead didn’t Line Due: Sunday, March 16th @ 11:59 PM PST

We occasionally see deadline sprees on the SHL, but it's not consistent. Part of the issue is the dominance that chemistry has, trades are usually too disruptive there to make up for the skill gained.

I think part of why we see fewer deadline moves and trades in SHL than in the NHL is because of the investment in the narrative and the social life. Which isn't to say that guys in the NHL aren't invested in their social lives, obviously they are, but the narrative? Totally different. Plus, there's not really A Business Side to things in SHL like there is with, say, the Bruins.

I think more activity around the Trade Deadline would be cool, but it's hard to see anything changing when people don't want to lose their friends they've been playing with for years.

Id actually love to see some more movement. I think the TDL is super hyped in real life, probably too much, but it would be fun if it was a bigger deal in sim leagues. I’m not sure what could be done though. Some sort of incentive to making moves on the day, but honestly drawing a blank.

The SHL trade deadline is so quiet you can hear a Zamboni sneeze. Maybe add a "Blockbuster Trade Bonus"—free gabagool for every big deal!

I don’t think you’d be able to recreate the hype like the nhl. SHL gms are more patient and don’t have owners breathing down their necks to perform.

Considering the mostly social nature of the SHL, I appreciate the strong loyalty a lot of players have to their teams and GMs, not to mention vice versa. Encouraging more movement would make it harder to settle into the SHL, considering how truly large it is.

SHL should turn into a Hunger Games format where every season, each team loses two players to a fight (and then the teams where the players do not survive, those teams need to trade or get players from FA to replace them)

I’m not a GM, so this type of question is harder for me to answer. If there was greater variations in the contracts that could be offered and the caps that were in place, maybe we’d see more movement? I really don’t know.

Give selling gms a bonus fkr good trades as voted by the league. Remove salary cap money from them for bad trades voted in by the league.

Honestly, I think what can be hard is the social aspect of this league. I have so many people I want to play with and be on teams with, but I also have intense amounts of guilt when it comes to potentially leaving teams. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and I imagine many feel the same.

I think the trade deadline comes down to player movement as a whole, which is also a lot lower in SHL than real life. Players are often moved at the deadline IRL because they are on an expiring contract and looking at free agency. We don't see a lot of movement to free agency, especially not among highly valued players. If you found a way to encourage further movement in free agency, that would also boost the trade deadline

I think its fine as it is. I personally would like to see free agency/team construction impacted by either having less teams with more lines AND having shorter careers personally.

I think something that could be done to encourage movement in the league is maybe like some kind of incentive for switching teams or not as much of a penalty like chemsitry is I guess
