I’m not painting the other 3 as negative, just listing them as where they are.

Tkachuk wanted to play in the US and forced a trade
Bennett requested a trade after another year of being messed with but found his game and was happy to stay once Sutter arrived - still got traded
Valimaki was not a good player and was lost on waivers because he couldn’t earn a spot, and he has earned one as an injury replacement on a tanking team
Does it suck? Sure. Do the situations have anything to do with each other? No. Do they collectively point to some sort of “spoil” going on within the organization? Also no, and not even taken out of context. In context they would look even less concerning.
