Trade markets for goalies are notoriously brutal. Rarely see top goalies traded mid-season, rarely see big returns for them.
Add that on to the fact that Kipper hasn't really played much and when he did, he didn't exactly look good I think we may be overestimating what kind of return we'd get for him.
If he comes in and plays lights out then yes there may be some offers but as we're dictated by the win-now mandate, there is no way we'd trade him if he was helping us squeak into the playoffs so this conversation is a non-starter.
