That's why they should have tried to sell last year a bit.
For whatever reason last year the entire Eastern Conference lost their mind leading up to the deadline.
Boston, Toronto, Rangers. Tampa, New Jersey, and others all gave up lots of future assets.
Problem is none of those teams won the cup, most didn't win even make the conference finals, and now all those teams have no assets and are being gunshy.
It hasn't really been talked about but I don't think an Eastern Conference team has moved a first yet this year.
