The problem I see here is that you're putting all of the impetus on the flames to execute the trade.
I don't think we should be actively pounding the pavement for Johnny trades, that will get us into a losing situation. We should make other GMs bid on johnny, much like Sakic did for duchene. Sure sakic did have to do some other contract work, but that was after he had other GMs backing up the truck. Then he got ottawa to pay a bit more to help him dump the extra salary and get it to work. That's the situation we want to be in.
