Following is a copy paste from the last Paul Byron trade proposal. It's just easier to copy paste.
I have to say I do enjoy reading all the different reasons why Ottawa is a good place for the guy you’re trying to get rid of, but the old, he’s from Ottawa, is the weakest. It ranks up there with, your team drafted him, and of course he’s French so Montreal would love to have him. Montreal doesn’t want every French player, and teams aren’t prioritizing local boys for acquisition. If a team drafts a guy, then trades him, they aren’t looking to reacquire, usually. Then there’s the player that was drafted with a traded pick. Just because the pick was a teams before, doesn’t mean they want the guy chosen with it, Nick Ritchie.
Ottawa isn’t interested in Byron, not at three more years, they need roster spots for the young guys coming up.
