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.

Agree with you entirely except the one team Tranny didn't mention is the Leafs whose GM has a good handle ln what Kipper can do. We have to look at Kipper as a potential loss for next season with the way his contract so any semi decent return (prospect and/or pick) will salvage something for the franchise.
