Vähän menee aiheen vierestä, mutta jotenkin tuossa Down Goes Brownin tweetissä tiivistää hyvin NHL-seurojen konservatiivisuuden.

NHL: We'd like to upgrade our fourth line but we can't do anything during the season because the salary cap makes trading too complicated.
NBA: Our franchise player seemed grumpy this morning so we made a six-player trade over lunch.

NBA:ssa tehtiin siis eilen iso pelaajakauppa Knicksin ja Mavericksin kesken, jossa siirtyi isoja nimiä joukkueesta toiseen. Sen lisäksi mediassa on spekuloitu paljon mm. Anthony Davisin tulevaa treidiä. NHL:n puolella on joo toki spekuloitu Panarinin, Duchenen, Stonen jne. treidaamista, mutta onhan tuo meininki silti ihan eri maailmasta.

Parhaita paloja:
In related news, your favorite NHL team’s GM isn’t sure that the four weeks between now and the deadline is enough time to put together a trade for that depth defenseman you want.
We’ve been over this ground
before, although back then the big NBA trade had taken three whole days to come together. Yesterday, it took hours. By next week, we’ll probably get an Anthony Davis trade that’s consummated in fifteen minutes.
And meanwhile, NHL GMs will keep chugging along, insisting that trades are super-complicated and can’t possibly be completed without months of behind-the-scenes busy work. To hear these guys tell it, getting Derick Brassard onto the Winnipeg Jets roster is basically the
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, but harder.
And yet in the NBA, where the rules are
way more complicated and the stakes, at least financially, are way higher, GMs can bear down and get this stuff done quickly when they need to. It’s almost as if NHL GMs have been lying to us all these years.
