Apparently the deadline was pushed back from week 6 to week 8. It looks like 2 extra games was enough for more teams to have an idea how the season is playing out. So, more teams that are falling behind are willing to invest in next year and teams on the cusp are more willing to invest in this year. In our case for example, this trade would make less sense when we were sitting at 3-2. At 5-2 in the lead of the division, however...
