Colby Barlows situation was a billion times better than this. They got it done right at the start of the season pretty well- that’s how you treat your star players that have been with you for years. NOT refusing to trade your player for what is going on a month now. They’re being very very picky probably. You’re not going to get as much for a guy that has attitude problems and an “individual player” over a guy that doesn’t- simple as that
Two different situations. Barlow's request came quietly at the end of his season so the Attack had the summer to figure out the situation. Musty's request came after he was sent back by San Jose when the OHL season had already started. Musty is not being treated badly, he is not a victim here. It is hard to find a trade
Do you think it takes a month for a trade to happen?
Its some big process where it takes a month to figure out some picks involved and a young player?
Or better yet- since musty may not be worth that young player as he is toxic, just picks?
The Attack took the whole summer and part of the start of the OHL season to trade Barlow. Barlow had a specific team request and that team couldn't put together a decent enough package. Oshawa came in with something the Attack thought to be fair, trade completed.
Lets do this in the reverse. Quinton Burns gets sent back to Kingston by St Louis and he decides to stay home and request a trade in the same time period as Musty did. No one makes any fair offers for him. He's been sitting way too long and the best offer after three weeks is from Sudbury offering their 18 year old sixth defenseman, a 3rd and a 5th. Would you do the deal? No one does that deal.
