Host: “And CJ, this new commerce bait board appears lots totally different than the final version a pair weeks in the past. With a month nonetheless to go till the deadline. How far more change is forward within the coming weeks?
Johnston: “Nicely, I believe there’s lots nonetheless to return. And sure, commerce bait has been left in shambles due to all of the motion in late January and early February. Right here type of a bizarre season, clearly, with the 4 Nations Face-off break developing. That’s a time frame the place lots of GMs don’t anticipate there to be a lot commerce motion.
So we’ve form of had, I believe, an preliminary type of unofficial deadline, no matter you wish to name it, that’s prompted a few of the motion we’ve had to date. And it’s solely going to be two weeks after that 4 Nations break earlier than the deadline.
And I believe that’s when a few of the groups, particularly Jap Convention, are going to need to declare themselves as both sellers or not. There’s nonetheless lots of groups in that type of, are they or aren’t they form of state of affairs, and I believe that that’s saved the commerce market from absolutely taking form simply but.
So we’ve already had a busy run right here, and I believe the 2 weeks proper earlier than the March 7 deadline are going to be one thing else.
