I’m counting big trades with picks too - I don’t see why they don’t. So Hamilton and Hamonic count. He also did a trade recently where $6M players went each way.
As for getting rid of roster players? He had a Brodie for Kadri trade signed, he moved young guys who were on the roster like Baertschi and Granlund and Kulak.
I don’t think he’s more reluctant than any other typical GM around his big name players - it’s a huge move that can go very badly (Boston with Thornton, Vancouver with Neely, Calgary with Gilmour).
