It is bait when it isn't asked as genuine interest, rather as an excuse to argue. If someone else asked the question, I'd say likely Kadri or Johnsson would be a prime candidate, targeting Carolina or another team either weak at C or rich in defense.
He has asked previously. I always ask when people just shout traaaade or GET A D-Man, because they tend to blame Dubas for not doing anything. People need to recognize the market that exists or does not exist. Situations can materialize down the road (injuries, positioning).
I have eyeballs for Rasmus Andersson or Pesce. Both Calgary and Carolina are looking for 2C, but if we bump Kadri, we need a good defensive 3C as part of the package.
And that's where it gets tough. Kadri isn't going to fetch a right d-man and a dependable 3 line center by himself. Maybe they sign a Sheahan or someone like that to try and stop gap it. Love it or hate it, this team only goes as far as Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, and Marner take it.
