Who cares what he says publicly, the real question is how he performs on the ice. I haven't watched any Buffalo games this year but if he is still the aggressive two way player on the ice that I remember him being, why would they trade him for showing frustration in the media. He is a world class player who they paid a premium for. Maybe the problem isn't with the player who said something but the others in the dressing room who have been playing for a losing team for the past 5 years.
Personally I think that this is in part the attitude from Evander Kane who has losing teams as being part of his trademark.
