Nobody wants to just trade guys to help the tank. We (I) want to trade guys for something that's going to help us dominate in a year or two, help us stay in the middle right now and maybe get lucky with picking someone in the second round.
It’s been argued by some that dropping in the standings is more important that maximizing the return. So yes sole want to trade guys largely to help the tank
In either case prospects like Iginla or Desnoyers are unlikely to be on the table and adding a 2nd doesn’t change that
