Why does that have to be the case?
People said the same of Hamilton, that we’d be giving up the best player in any deal, can’t trade him. Well turns out you can trade him for an 80 point young core forward.
If we’re trading Gaudreau or Monahan we would be getting a young star player back. Think Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones. Neither team was unhappy with their player, but they made the move to change the makeup out their team.
I always baffles me when people assume trading our best player would be for picks prospects or we’d automatically lose the deal.
Treliving doesn’t automatically lose deals. We should know that by now.
