Making trades in your hockey pool is fun.

Heck, it’s a lot of fun. But having to watch your friend with Tyler Seguin for the next 10 years because you traded him for T.J Oshie and a couple draft picks, well, that’s painful.

Making trades is a mix of two tonics, there’s the bit of fear that a player you’re sending away will turn into (or will continue to be) something great. But that fear is often trumped by the wondrous excitement that you might be acquiring the next Claude Giroux or Jamie Benn. A guy that the rest of the league has been undervaluing.
