Maybe that was the plan all along, so they could trade yandle for a large return.
This is bull and makes no sense unless the return is astronomical. Would be the dumbest opening move for a GM in history if it doesn't fetch a first, a player of Duclair's offensive potential and a bonafide NHL STAR in return.
TSN just said Yandle is on the trading block.
I don't know Sweeny in Boston made a pretty bad first move.
The Lucic trade? Which was fantastic for Boston?

Hamilton.
I'd really, really hate if we traded Yandle.
Really hate it.
Hmm. Marchand+? Krug++?
Are people too irrational to understand that Yandle has one year left on his deal and there's no indication that he's giving us a discount?
Unless you have a handshake agreement for a good amount, you can't come away with nothing at the end of the season. If you aren't going to come to terms with Yandle or at least if you want to get him worrying that he might be traded so he lessens his demands, you gotta put him on the trading block.
because this is a team that has ZERO PMD outside of Dan Boyle.
It is beyond idiotic to move an asset that actually addresses a ton of needs on a great contract than it does to move someone like Klein, Girardi, or Staal.
Figure out Yandle by midseason...if his contract is an issue, trade him at the deadline.

Get some actual offense for him and I'll be happy.
We can't go into next season with this offense and expect to compete. Who is replacing MSL and Hagelin's combined 38 goals???
