I think this would have been such an improbable scenario, we would’ve also needed to take back their cap dumps on a team that’s still trying to win. A players’ rights historically speaking aren’t worth much and it’s hardly worth anyone’s time debating it.

Now trading Johnny last year might’ve gotten us something. But then you take away the fun of last season and the game 7 OT winner and etc.
