The non-waiver deadline is the 31st.  If a player passes through waivers, you can trade him later.

the deadline just means when the last day you can trade for a player with them clearing waivers.  after that deadline you have to claim a player off waivers and they have to clear waivers.  with the claim you get a certain amount of time to negotiate a deal.
