But there are trades like those in that list every year, so it isn't NOT a possibility. It always is. You can list a few every single deadline.
So he's playing wet blanket on the thread. But no matter how much he wants to spin the angle that suits his interests as a Canucks fan it has no bearing on how this plays out, and there are a lot of ways it can, including milking a return not dissimilar to these.
Rather than blindly playing white knight for your buddy maybe look deeper because you're clearly not getting it. Yes, we know what Blaster is and how he normally is which is a fine member here, but in this case he has vested interest and it's obvious. But it's detracting rather than adding to the discussion because he wont entertain a thread about a very positive outcome for the flames and that's what's being discussed.
It's frankly a conversation he's better left sitting out of because it isn't playing to the outcome he evidently is seeking.
It's not about prodding a guy out the door just cause he's not a flames fan.

We all have a vested interest. His is just different. I find that hearing the perspective of non Flames fans, or from the other side from the fan of a team showing interest, is quite interesting and balances things a little.
So saying he's better left sitting out is a brutal take.
He's being pretty respectful in how he's participating and offering insights from the POV of a Canuck fan.
The posters we have on this site, who are fans of other teams but choose to contribute to the conversation, are part of the reason I come here.
Seems like something you should be able to handle without trying to run him out of the thread.
