My long-term home league (10 teams, 20 man rosters, keep 8) is considering the elimination of our trade deadline, which is currently week 14.
The main rationale proposed for elimination is that contending teams want the ability to add guys all the way down the stretch, And with 20 man rosters, the cupboard is often empty in terms of available free agents.
As commissioner, I see the benefit of eliminating the deadline, but also have some concern that teams will have a greater ability to tank at the end by getting rid of anyone of value that they don't plan on keeping.
The main question I have is whether there should even be a league trade deadline (talking mainly keeper/dynasty here), and if so, why? Is it also just to replicate what the NFL does?
I've done some research on Reddit, and there are some good thoughts, but no doubt the Shark Pool will have the best pulse on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
