I don't see the big concern with him getting traded, as none of us will miss anything he brings to the table. He is not part of our future core or anything close, isn't improving or anything, and even if a draft pick turns to nothing, we would basically have what we have now. Ouellet is a dime a dozen. If the team trades a Larkin or Mantha or AA, then I see getting up in arms about it, but not spare parts that aren't improving and no loss when they don't play. Our team played no or worse in the recent games he sat out, and the same with the game Jensen sat out. Trading Ouellet allows another (Hicketts or someone else) a look and chance to be part of our future.
Also Redder, crying about Jurco, Sheahan? Jurco, is he even in Chicago's lineup, doing anything of prominence, not likely and Sheahan was just another warm body providing nothing for us. Honest question, do we win even one more game with Sheahan in our lineup? Youth for youth's sake is not a good game to play when you are talking about the Sheahan's, Joakim Andersson's, Teemu Pulkkinen's of the world. In reference, Larkin, Mantha, AA, and Bertuzzi came into out lineup and made impact very soon after debuting, so they should and have played their way onto our team, but if you are young, come up and don't bring much to the table, (Pulkkinen, Mursak, Andersson, etc.) then you should either be in the press box, minors or traded.
