Description

Why is LA so bent on trading TT? He's a decent goal scorer, probably close to 30 if he plays with Kopitar fulltime. They need scoring and have ZERO proven scorers coming up. If there was a solid younger/cheaper option then getting a 1st for TT seems fine. It just doesn't make sense.

are you new to contracts?

It might have to be due to the fact that if they don't trade him, LA gets nothing? Gambling on a guy resigning as a rebuilding team is a very risky and almost dumb move to make.
