The fact that you've got to keep these players on your own roster for the summer, and have room for their contracts, I guess is the only deterent to trading the RFAs. I have no problem with putting stricter standards in place to make it harder for teams to trade these players. I think in the Frenzy, with generally tighter cap situations, that piece of it is usually enough to make it difficult to make a trade like this, but in SAC'D, where there is usually more cap room to play with, I think this might not be enough of a hindrance.

Actually it's a rule thing....RFA's can't be traded until August 31. So they have to keep that part of it seperate...has nothing to do with cap space...unless the other part of the trade makes one team go over
