You don't think SJ would be on Pesce's NT list?
If I had to guess the possible teams that would be on his 15-team trade list, I would think they would be 15/18 of these:
Bos, Buf, Col, Clb, Dal, Det, Edm, Flr, LA, Min, NYI, NYR, Pit, STL, TB, Tor, VG, Wsh
If there are 3 or 4 teams that he wanted to block out of those 18, then maybe he could have used CHI strategically.
Edit: I forgot NJ and possibly SEA and NSH. So, he'll probably have 18-21 teams to choose from without having a rebuilder on his trade list.
