Should the NHL force teams to make trade option conditions known immediately?
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman joined Sirius XM NHL Network Radio Wednesday morning with Gord Stellick and Scott Laughlin. There, he was asked about an underrated trade draft pick. Friedman wonders if the conditions of the nominees should be known right away.

Gord Stellick: “But anyway, about Brad Treliving? He said that name. I don’t want to pile on the schmozzle that is Toronto right now in many ways, but, but, we’ve talked before that this tendency of teams in general to reduce the value of the first round selection late and easily included in the deals of the trade deadline to trade, like what the NFL started to select the number of years ago.

Do you think they will revisit that a bit? And you think they’re going to revisit the poll, make it a top five, only the top not seeded, or the top 10 not seeded, because you expected him to make the playoffs. Do you think this kind of schmozzle is going to cause the general managers to pause to move forward?”
Elliotte Friedman: “I think it’s going to make you fight more for more protection. Like, I don’t know. Actually, it’s interesting. Gordy, one thing is that tanking is so bad in the NBA right now that they’re talking about solutions for that. And one of the things that they’re talking about right now, I think it’s more of a goal than talking about a real idea, but usually they’re talking about a real issue or a reality. you can trade first-rounders That’s one of the possibilities, ideas, and solutions which are thrown.
I just think, I think right now there’s a lot of policing from the administration. Like, in this particular case, Toronto decided to take that risk because they wanted to make that deal, and it would bite them.
But I don’t like, I don’t think this is something that the league should regulate or moderate. I think you just have to decide what you are comfortable doing commercially. And surprisingly, one thing I don’t like, I’ll say this, is that I think if there are conditional choices, it should be clear what they are.

The thing that happened with Florida and Chicago, where it turned out that for a year we didn’t know that Florida had a top ten defense in this year’s draft. First of all, I hate that I didn’t realize that. I admit that I’m partially upset, but I think, like if you look, I went back to the release of the Blackhawks and the Panthers when that trade was made, and there was nothing there that said that. I think it should be clear at that time that these are the conditions of the nominees.”
