So we agree, all of them are available for the right deal. You are just defining the deal. I am sure people can have positions on a proposal, but to say they are off the table is nonsensical.
This is what I would have thought.
Traiding Clarke would have to be for an exceptional offer or should be considered off the table (the old OVERPAYMENT lol). But he shouldn't be considered off the table either. Would you trade him for #1 overall this year and next year? I would say yes. Would you trade him for, let's say, Cale Makar, Adam Fox or Quinn Hughes- Yes. So even he isn't off the table, but you will not get those kind of offers (lol), so I get why he should be thought of as such.
