What potential playoff team can give him the biggest role?
I don’t think he cares about the best $$ offer. I think He wants playing time. The guy demanded a trade after being healthy scratched ONCE.
He played 10 straight games nowhere he was Buffalo’s worst defenseman by a good margin) after finally coming back from injury/surgery which caused him to miss 8 months.
Then the coach sat him for 1 game and he was so furious he immediately demanded to be traded.
He would also often talk about how well he was playing after having a terrible game.
He still thinks he’s a good NHL defenseman. So I think he will go to whatever (potential playoff) team promises him the biggest role.
