Host: “And CJ, this new commerce bait board appears so much completely different than the final version a pair weeks in the past. With a month nonetheless to go till the deadline. How rather more change is forward within the coming weeks?
Johnston: “Effectively, I feel there’s so much 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 period the place quite a lot of GMs don’t anticipate there to be a lot commerce motion.
So we’ve kind of had, I feel, an preliminary type of unofficial deadline, no matter you wish to name it, that’s prompted a few of the motion we’ve had up to now. And it’s solely going to be two weeks after that 4 Nations break earlier than the deadline.
And I feel that’s when a few of the groups, particularly Japanese Convention, are going to should declare themselves as both sellers or not. There’s nonetheless quite a lot of groups in that type of, are they or aren’t they kind of state of affairs, and I feel that that’s stored the commerce market from absolutely taking form simply but.
So we’ve already had a busy run right here, and I feel the 2 weeks proper earlier than the March 7 deadline are going to be one thing else.
