Yeah, CC and scouting team know what we have to get for each traded player. They know exactly what they are worth, and who wants/needs them. There are probably already multiple suitors for all of them.
So CC will get a team to meet his price, then he will canvas the other interested parties one last time to see if he can get his extra 'sweeteners' and the deal will be done. As he tells it, this is the way CC has done the other deals in past seasons.
Doubtful this was a process that started this season, all of the above takes time. If trades happen this month it won't be some knee jerk trade, it will have been the culmination of a lot of work by hockey people that know way more than us.
I've really liked the Flames game lately, so it will be interesting to see how the trades affect that. I'm also keen to see what creativity CC employs to help some of the potential destinations get around cap issues this season.
Never a dull moment!
