Trying to move those guys now to teams who are up against the cap you will need to find a way to balance the money. It's one thing to eat half a salary when 80% or in a lot of cases more has already been paid and you're out 200k or less. But 50% on the better players is another thing. Teams buying at the deadline have a better idea of what the picks they're parting with are worth whereas at the draft sometimes teams can get eager. But these days GM's ard conditioning picks to the hilt. So I doubt we see a Stutzle or Dobson calibre pick ever moved again unwillingly.
