Nobody wants to trade anyone for nothing... although, trading everyone for a bag of pucks and then finishing in last place, guaranteeing us one of McKenna, Verhoeff or Lawrence would still be a pretty good trade. (I'm not actually recommending doing that, since finishing in 32nd place is the only guarantee of a top-three pick, which is way too much of a risk.)

There are a couple posters for whom the return is pretty much irrelevant - its the negative effect on team play that they want (even though the team is sitting bottom three they think it won't last).
