I wasn't going to reply since we've talked about this time and time again. But the reason why I think it would work is:
A. Many other leagues do it and they don't seem to have a problem.
B. Trade thread titles should be noted as "Draft Pick", "DP", etc... Something that alerts Admins/Mods that trades are involved. These trades would need the appropriate approval stamps to go through, instead of our lax system that's been going on for a few seasons.
C. Most of our GMs now are veterans. They know their team and they know where they stand. It opens up more trade opportunities when potential trade partners can't find anything suitable. And we all know trading is the essence of league activity.
Additionally, I would also suggest to stop simming ahead until March 1 like we did last season. I was a big reason why we simmed to March 1 and while I still feel it benefits the league, I do not want to see draft pick trading open or encouraged the entire off-season. Even if we "wait" to trade drafts, the draft class is shown as soon as we sim to March 1 on Mogul '13.
The point of simming ahead until March is so that 1) veterans dropping over the off-season will be seen and 2) the majority of prospects aging over the off-season will be scene to more properly gauge their value. While we wouldn't see prospect's peak flucuate we can allow contracts of FAs that considerably drop over the off-season to be reduced and possibly free released - whatever the rating drop warrants.
