So going back 19 days from those two deadlines (which is what we are now) last year there were two trades the Horvat trade and the Tarasenko trade. The year before there was one the Toffoli trade. Not many trades get made this far out, Conroy has made one of them already. If it is deadline day and Conroy still has not made the next move that would be one thing, but this far out trades don’t often get made.
