It's impossible to say that it makes no sense to trade him for players we don't need when we don't know what the trade would be. This team has holes, he could be used to help fix said holes if team can show they can win without him.
The line/defensive pairings that, except for the third period, played well against Toronto:
Gaudreau - Fantilli - Danforth
Chinakhov - Voronkov - Marchenko
Johnson - Sillinger - Laine
Texier - Kuraly - Bemstrom
The second a third had excellent chemistry.
Jenner, Roslovic, Olivier, Bemstrom remain.
in defense:
Werenski, Blankenburg
Provorov, Jiříček
Bean, Peeke
Severson, Gudbranson, Boqvist remain.
Theoretically, we can get Garland and make the Gaudreau - Fantilli - Garland line. The problem is that although the salary cap will increase by 7 million next season, the contracts of Marchenko, Chinakhov and Johnson (+ Sillinger, Roslovic, Texier, Bemstrom and Blankenburg) are ending. Who, if they continue as they are playing now, may want around 5 million each. What would be the difference of around 12 million. And not every team would agree to trade our player for picks/prospects. Also we need a reserve under salary cap.
