Supply/Demand on trade deadline day is something you forgot? All it takes is 5 teams or more who want to add a center and the price goes up.
Market sets the price, not the fans. And it's premature cause there is a lot of hockey to be played from now till deadline. Might be some moves made from now till then but most of the major ones will be closer to the deadline.
I remember last season where fans on teams who wanted to buy, tried to say it will be a buyers market.
. Don't like the price? Stay put and make depth trades
