I wanna be like Miikka · 12-01-2009, 11:01 AM

I'm just waiting for the right time to offer up Mike Richards for Iginla.

I know trading is down on my end because I'm a lot more busy. I've maybe received 4 trade offers in the past 10-12 months, so unless I'm on msn messaging people asking them then I usually don't get much done in the way of trading.

Also, most of the time the biggest traders are the rebuilding teams. This year that hasn't been the case so much, likely due in part to high prices of the contenders. Really though, when I was rebuilding I used to love seeing a contending team lose a bunch of games, because I knew they wanted to make a move bad and I could go in there and give them something they need (Maybe GMs are more patient now).

It should be interesting to see who gives in first, the rebuilding teams or the contenders.
