The first thing you do, the best trade, the easiest time to move a player is when no one knows he wants out.
That's what I said with Dylan Larkin.
If they had done it quietly, I think Kenny or Steve Eisenman could have made a much better deal than he's going to make.
So number one would be do it quietly if you can.
That's not happening, obviously.
So now everyone knows.

That's a problem.
It's a big problem.
The quietest deals are the best ones.

I begged him to play.
I said, just keep playing, pal.
If you're not playing, I can't get fair value for you.
He wouldn't play.
So I told the agent, it was Mike Gillis, I told him, we'd take until January to trade him, which he did.
And we did not make a good deal.
It was not a good deal for the Canucks.
