I wonder if the looming expansion draft will impact how willing teams are to part with draft picks at this years deadline. It does seem that the quality of this draft isn't on par with some previous drafts maybe more like 2014. But there's also one additional team in the league now and every team knows that they will be losing a player they would rather keep.

So I do wonder if we see a few more deeper teams use their 10-12th best protectable player to try and upgrade now as opposed to in the past where draft picks were the currency of choice.
