I wouldn't give up that much, the kid has done nothing as a pro. He's really shown nothing in the AHL and the NHL to get that excited about.

And now because he's not being given a guaranteed NHL spot he's taking his ball and going home.

He's done little to earn anything.

And now he's listening to bad advice from his manager.

I like accumulating young talent as much as this guy. But I'm not giving up that much to see if this kid screws his head on straight and shows half the talent that he had going into the draft.

If you trade for him, and he's crappy and you send him to the farm is he going to pout again?
