ZERO possible chance of Saginaw dealing Misa at next year’s deadline. They’re not going to give away the payday they’ll collect from him being a 1st round NHL pick.
Maybe at the 2026 deadline - - assuming he’s still in junior - - but definitely not at next year’s deadline.
That payday is even more leverage in the trade…..
I think it will come down to how impactful he is the remainder of the season. If they feel he is going to graduate, he will be traded.
There is an unwritten rule for these types of marquis players. If Saginaw is rebuilding, he will be traded. The league wants marquis players on marquis teams. There is no way they would want Misa on a rebuilding team for his last year.
