What in Fletcher's history makes you think he would trade a young first round pick in his first pro year for a player who has a personal best of 38 points.. I know he traded Leddy for Cam Barker in 2010, but Barker was a 23 year old 3rd overall pick and not a 30 year old winger with injury history.
Fair point. My concern is more that:
1.) Historically, Fletcher does make at least one trade at the deadline
2.) We don't have a lot of room to make a trade this year (little cap space, no 2nd round pick in 2017)
3.) There aren't a ton of available* options with so many teams still hoping to make the playoffs, especially in the East
*Of course, rumored availability and actual availability are very different things. There might be more options than we're generally aware of.
