What is he gonna say?
Who cares what he says? What does that have to do with literally anything? This is his team. He's responsible for every player on it. And there are only a couple of them that anyone else would want, and none of those have any *actual* value (per your statement that they won't go for the kinds of players we actually need)? Come on. It's indefensible.
He's saying that maybe nobody wants their assets for a young, top pairing D or a young, top line C... which is of course a no-brainer, but he's pretty much saying that it is up to other teams if they want his players to make a deal. He's not going to make change for the sake of change. He's not going to sweep out players for the sake of sweeping them out.
That's massive, unsubstantiated projection of a very simple sentence. I'll take his actual words over some guy's abstraction of them.
I'll add that no one is suggesting that trading Helm or Abbie or a Tatar/Nyquist deal or whatever is anything reasonably close to 'change for the sake of change.' Some people see that as 'change for the sake of moving forward.'
I mean, honestly, everyone lost their damn minds on not getting a 1st back for Vanek because "that was his value"... but nobody wanted to trade for him at that value.
Are you aware of how counter-productive garbage like 'lost their damn minds' is? Let alone when it's thrown in as a complete non-sequitur to the line you quoted? Good luck with that.
