Remember when LA just tossed Conroy out of the bus on the side of the highway in Red Deer, and said "you can probably find your own way to Calgary for the game tomorrow night, right?"

Usually the player is in the same country with his wife, and not in an Olympic tournament requiring all his attention.
I’m not talking about the physical movement. I’m talking about his home life. There’s an Olympic freeze for a reason. So the closer you get to the freeze, the less likely it is the trade happens before it.
