My enjoyment would drop by 50% if trading were implemented. But I doubt I would leave. This engine works so much better than the other one.

We already have a history of people cheating where small loop holes exist. Trading would create large loop holes. So I just imagine the waiver system as a proxy for trading. Scranton has been a reliable trade partner for Haverhill for many seasons as we often seem to swap players over waivers
