And it is a game of semantics. matched

If you're willing to part with those players because you believe that a deal like that is going to bring exactly back what you need, all right, well, then you're willing to trade those assets. matched

And I think they'd trade Shane Wright, but I also know in having conversation with Botterill a number of weeks back that they were looking to bring him some help. matched

to give him a little bit more insulation, a little bit more to work with as well. matched

But I think Seattle is just at a point now, borderline desperate, where those types of trades with good young players like that, they have to consider it at this stage. matched

Yeah, well, I mean, in a perfect world, some of these bigger trades would happen, you know, leading into tomorrow, right? matched

Look at Darnell Nurse and the Edmonton Oilers here for a moment. matched

To date, Darnell has not been willing to expand his three-team no-trade list. matched

Well, Stan Bowman has exhausted every conversation he can with those three teams, you know, trying to create a fit. matched

Well, why is that? matched

It's not to do Darnell a favor. matched

I mean, it's in the best interest of both for Darnell Nurse, who wants a fresh start, and for the Edmonton Oiners. matched

But Edmonton could use whatever portion of cap space is going to be created by moving out his $9.2-plus million cap hit, but they're right up against it. matched

So... matched

If they're not able to find a partner, you know, in the next day here, well, that free agent market, which isn't very deep, is going to shrink considerably in the days ahead, obviously. matched

I mean, the good players that are on the list, some of them are going to get scooped up in the next – matched

probably 12 hours or so, right? matched

You know, because we've seen, you know, John Carlson's rights get traded, Radko Gudis. matched

Those players are probably going to sign with the teams that, you know, their rights got moved to. matched

So it can be damaging for certain teams like Edmonton. matched
