While I am fully on board with the idea that we could some how pull off the Bob Stauffer idea of getting a Cam Fowler and moving him for Tyson Barrie, that sort of three-way trade seems very NBA-style and not something the old boys’ club of NHL GM’s would swing.
Trading to a conference rival is one thing, but three of them coming together and managing it would be a very progressive move in which you maybe make a rival better while getting something yourself.
