Improving The Trade Deadline

from ESPN,

How could the trade deadline be improved?

Pierre LeBrun: Have two main trading windows in a season but restrict trades the rest of the time. After the puck drops in October, forbid trades until a one-month trading window opens from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15. Then, prohibit trades again until another one-month window opens from Feb. 1 to March 1. That's it, just two one-month windows during the regular season to make trades. The intention is to have more activity within those two windows, especially the second one. And it would prevent moves from being spread out over the season.

Craig Custance: Create a supplemental round in the upcoming draft, maybe after the second round, where every team gets a pick but they can't use it to draft players. In order to get any value from that pick, the pick must be traded during a one-week window before the trade deadline.
