And that plays a role in why it makes sense to trade him - it's not because CP thinks he's a whipping boy and doesn't value him, it's exactly the opposite.
Nashville didn't trade Seth Jones because he was a whipping boy and not valued... they traded from a position of strength, and the return for Seth Jones was Ryan Johansen, their #1C. Was anyone in Nashville pining for Seth Jones, as that team played their way into the SCF last season, Ryan Johansen largely carrying their offense on the way there?

Exactly and from that perspective I understand it but it’s no big secret that there have been a number of Dougie haters around these parts and it’s completely unwarranted.
