Non-playoff/Eliminated Teams

Can teams that are no longer active in the playoffs execute trades? I believe the NHL permits trades to occur between teams not competing in the playoffs, so I was wondering if that is also the case with our league. If so, Brad Richards is available!

At the moment, no and it's only because I'd rather wait until I go through the retirements and get FAs listed before I open trading back up.
