Swap Frost with O'Brien

Sure why not

Which automatically kills any chance the Blues consider it. Which is fine by me.

I don't see how the blues would have much leverage seeing as Tank already requested a trade

Huh? That doesn't mean they have to take a return they don't want. If they don;t get what they want, he'll stick around, score some goals and raise his value.

Besides, they have leverage because multiple teams want him. That trumps anything else.
