Pre Expansion Draft trades are also probably a bit more of a buyers market, as teams would be primarily making moves as they don't want to lose Player X in the ED...so there are teams shopping, but they have to be careful as well as they can only protect so many players too...
less buyers should mean lower asks...
after the ED the pressure reverts to cap reasons, but more teams will probably be buying then too, which might cause the prices to rise.
