The trade value of players is never affected by the positive things said by management in the media. These bits are predominantly for fans. Brouwer has been in the League a long time, and I am quite certain that every GM knows exactly what kind of a player and person he is without Treliving's testimonial.
I tend to think that Treliving was being genuine in his comments.
