Kinda reminds me when people were making Poirier off-limits a year or so back.
No one wants our crap for their top players, you have have to give something good. I do agree with ppl saying the big 6 should be left alone. IMO, the only way those guys are not involved is if Treiliving takes back a bad contract like Clarkson.

True, that's why I'm not sure I would make the trade. If it's not a bargain for us to take their problem child off their hands, then we do not really need to make the trade.
I know I wouldn't take a trade involving say Klimchuk/Poirier + Granlund/Backlund + first for Ryan Johansen even if RJO was acting like a petulant child and was so toxic that he just needed to be moved.
If there's a cost that works for us then pull the trigger. Otherwise, it's their mess and they still have to deal with it. Just like Hamilton basically telling the Bruins to stick it last year. That was Boston's problem and they dealt with it.
