IF the team is in a playoff spot at the deadline they arent going to deal CK unless they add to him for a player under contract. Gorton has been saying from the start he believes in competing and doing things the right way. He said that at the lottery and the draft, That they were rewarded for competing and not tanking. He's not going to pull a 180 on that at the deadline and deal CK from a team IF they are in a playoff position. It would be completely contradictory to what he's done. That being said he could still be dealt this summer, but if he is I would imagine they bring in another vet that can insulate the 2nd line short term.
