That was the rumor in the offseason that some random on twitter had. It was right around the same time as the Tkachuk news came out.

He probably thought it was going to be a re-build after Gaudreau and Tkachuk left, and then rescinded it when the team added Kadri and Huberdeau.

I could see him being moved this offseason coming off a strong season.
