Think of it this way. If somebody came into your house right now and demanded to buy your TV, what do you do? Do you ask for market value, or what you pay for it? Do you have them buy you a lesser TV and pay the difference? Do you make them overpay because then you have to go out of your way to find a new TV, get it home, and get it set up? You don't have to sell your TV, and could keep it until it gets replaced.
You should want to make the person overpay. By selling off your TV, you're actively making more work for yourself when you could just enjoy what you have.
That's how Wings fans feel about Bertuzzi. They don't want to trade him at all. They would need an offer they couldn't refuse to part with him. Amirov, Robertson, and a 1st is in that territory. Much like with Mantha. Constant lowball and market value trades, but Detroit only parted with him for a massive overpay.
