If you trade Johnny it's not for the reasons Francis mentions. Because I don't think they apply to him at all.

Ferland, Bennett, Brouwer, maybe Hamilton, probably others. For ice time, wanting to play or stay on a certain line etc etc not just goals and assists. And not everything is an untenable situation where you have to get rid of offenders either.

Also, I love Jagr but he was trying to play for his reasons at the end when he was struggling through 2 injurirs and he was told by BT to get healthy before you play again.

Heck maybe throw Monahan into the mix as by definition he shouldnt have played as injured as he was. If you make the argument he cared more about getting to a goal total then doing what was best for the team(which isn't true at all), that would fall under this definition too. So a lot of subtitles and perspective to consider.
