The only way any trade goes down is if 2 of these happen:
- Gourde waives his NTC and is included.
- Johnson waives his NTC and is included.
- Retention on the player traded to Tampa.
If neither of those happen and neither of those are appealing, then no trade will happen.
The only thing I can see happening, and it's a long shot, is Johnson waives for LA, SJ, or ANA to be close to home.
So before anymore trade offers happen, see if any of those conditions seem reasonable to work with. The last possible choice is finding a third party team that will take one of Gourde or Johnson that they would waive for. Which is even more unreasonable than the original conditions.
