Sleepy Deadline Signals Free Agency's Demise?
GMs across the league hit the brakes hard at this year's trade deadline, with just 20 deals moving 33 players compared to busier years past, leaving rental stars like John Carlson as rare exceptions that top contenders couldn't afford under the new CBA rules. Sellers dug in on prices, forcing buyers like the Avalanche to overpay for center depth with Kadri and others while teams like the Blues cashed in draft picks for a rebuild reset.
