Absolutely not

Toronto gets out bid by everyone

Toronto doesn't have the elite pieces for a Jirichek trade

You never know CBJ are a train wreck of a franchise right now. How many players have spoken out in frustration this year? Merzlikins, Fantilli, Chinakov and Jiricek? imagine if Babcock was the coach?

There would be about 15 better offers

Elvis and Chinakhov both requested and rescinded trades because they deservedly got the playing time they wanted. Jiriced hasn't requested a trade, he'll still get the playing time he wants. Fantilli is going through the growing pains but hasn't voiced frustrations. Johnson was the other, but he bought into going to the AHL to start the season and has been great since.

It's almost like the lame duck management group doesn't know how to handle players, and the drama gets fixed by playing the guys they obviously should be playing?

100% They have a number of great pieces and should be setup for a great future but they need to fix the management structure as this will also affect free agency once they start to turn the corner
