Dude has been completely invisible since October.
Not sure why teams would be willing to give up anything more than a mid-late round pick.
They want to make sure scouts don't get to watch him.Look I get protecting an asset that will return a 1st. Sitting out Tyler Motte for trade related reasons, cmon
Sitting out is not an issue at this time of year. It woukd be a far bigger one if you had a 100% healthy player who was held out yo start the season because the team is going to trade him.Canucks only received a 4th last year for him, when he was having a better season. So if the Sens get more straight up for him than it will be quite ridiculous.
Also yeah, NHLPA might need to step in and request teams to not "sit out for trade related reasons" this early. Maybe limit to only a week before the deadline or something.
