We don’t really have trade assets sitting around right now, and players like this, while young, are going to be pushing 30 by the time we’re going to be a competitive team again (granted the rebuild goes well). He will probably go to a team like MTL, New Jersey, CBJ, who have assets, and are looking at opening their window this year if he’s traded.
Would be a nice pickup for sure. Trotz won’t do it though. He’s too young and not Cole Smithy enough.
I mean ya I’d love to have him, but why diminish the role of an improving offensive player you took 3OA and is one one of your captains when you’re a rebuilding team? Also I would think they’d be wanting an established young roster player in return which we don’t really have. And we’re not going to be trading draft capital. I’m not sure what kind of an asset package we would put together to get this done.
