- Something to help them now
Czarnik offers none of that.

I don't know about the third point. I think there are still probably some teams that believe Czarnik could help them if put in a position to succeed.
This whole situation reminds me of the Niederreiter for Cluttberuck trade. Nino was a former 5th overall who put up 1 point in 55 NHL games, but was able to rebound the following year by putting up 50 points in 74 NHL games. He never went through any major surgeries.
He was traded for Clutterbuck- a crash and bang 4th line winger coming off a season of 10 points in 42 games.
I don't think we have a player like that to offer them, but I'm sure some team does.
