Deadline Day Unofficial final tally 2015
23 Trades
40 Players dealt
20 draft picks swapped
$34 M in salaries exchanged
34 Million ? that's it ?
34 Million of 2,021,064,610 ? (2 billion).
That is 1.6% of salaries were exchanged at the Trade Deadline. Seems like peanuts to me.
It seems so hard for teams to make any trades now.
I'd love to see more stats about NHL trades ... anyone have any good ones ? Are less teams giving up first round picks now ? Are trades at the trade deadline and the offseason at an all time low ? What factors are there besides the NHL's hard Salary Cap ? Is there any hope the Leafs can make some actual trades at the deadline ?
