Now if the forward trade mark has cratered I fully agree he shouldn't be dealt now.
But I hope the organization has a plan for what's coming. You can't lose the asset for nothing or head into that final year with the risk of a constricted market via his modified trade clause.

I do not disagree. I am essentially talking about trading off the Flames best asset. A player who is 1 season from hitting 99 points, and trading him from a losing position.
You don't trade him just to get anything at all. It's poor asset management and sets a very bad precedent on the market for the team.
