Host: “And CJ, this new commerce bait board seems to be rather a lot totally different than the final version a pair weeks in the past. With a month nonetheless to go till the deadline. How way more change is forward within the coming weeks?
Johnston: “Effectively, I feel there’s rather a lot nonetheless to return. And sure, commerce bait has been left in shambles due to all of the motion in late January and early February. Right here form of a bizarre season, clearly, with the 4 Nations Face-off break developing. That’s a time period the place a number of GMs don’t count on there to be a lot commerce motion.
So we’ve form of had, I feel, an preliminary form of unofficial deadline, no matter you wish to name it, that’s prompted a number of the motion we’ve had thus far. And it’s solely going to be two weeks after that 4 Nations break earlier than the deadline.
And I feel that’s when a number of the groups, particularly Japanese Convention, are going to need to declare themselves as both sellers or not. There’s nonetheless a number of groups in that form of, are they or aren’t they form of state of affairs, and I feel that that’s stored the commerce market from totally taking form simply but.
So we’ve already had a busy run right here, and I feel the 2 weeks proper earlier than the March 7 deadline are going to be one thing else.
