A player struggling as hard as he is in his sophomore season doesn’t really get to be disgruntled about being sent down to the AHL. If that’s enough to get him to ask for a trade, good luck to the acquiring team.

As long as KJ goes to CLE with the right attitude he’ll be back relatively soon. I don’t think he’ll be traded anytime soon.

I was wondering why all the KJ CFACGMs today. Jarmo won't be bullied into trading him.

He switched his agent recently to Pat Brisson. You know, just like almost every single one of his fellow Michigan teammates including Brisson’s own son. But since it’s lol Columbus that’s clearly just a sign he’s disgruntled and wants out.

I love casual hockey fans. When RFA Jason Robertson was unsigned all we heard from the casuals was "Dallas HAS to trade Robertson because they can't afford him!"

He was re-signed the next day. LOL

We'll see the same thing with RFA Seider. Just watch.😉

It is completely normal for young player to get sent down. It’s also completely normal for hockey fans to discuss that player’s future when they switch agents and promptly get demoted.

I don’t think this sounds like typical knee-jerk topic du jour. but could be wrong.

No? Look at the number of CFACGMs today about KJ. This is day 1. 😬

Fans love fantasizing about acquiring talented young players for pennies on the dollar. As if other team's GM's are complete morons.

Oh, of course. I agree. It is the lifeblood of ACGM.

I am just saying it’s fair game to talk about player in this situation… not an attempt to kick-em-when-hes-down.
