What would you prefer? I mean I don't even know how to take this seriously. A team desperately looking for C's, is going to abandon the development of a 20 year old C, who is far from a finished product, to trade for a Winger, and a mid 20's draft pick, who if they pick a C, might be at the same stage as Sillinger in 3-4 years. It's so detached from what they need, that it's just pure fantasy stuff.... No team gives up on a 20 year old player, on a tire fire of a team, who plays the position that team needs the most.
It's easy to have a discussion that maybe his development hasn't been handled correctly, but the idea that they are going to trade a 20 year old, highly drafted player, at their greatest position of need is proposterous.
