But right now I see it as this.
After ALL the players that engineered leaving here, and wouldn't re-sign. And after ALL the players who won't accept a trade here. You are going to go to a guy who DID sign here, and has said he WANTS to stay and say "no man, we need to trade you because you are hurting our tank. And we will trade you wherever you want to go, for whatever return, because we need those L's!".
I see that as a brutal strategy that will lead to a Buffalo style endless cycle at the bottom.
The idea of trading good players because they are "hurting the tank" is the wrong attitude IMHO.

I am fine risking a big failure tanking. Things do not get much worse than 2 playoff series wins in 20 years.
