<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Augustus</b></div><div>I recall the story about the Chandler Stephenson trade from the Capitals to Vegas. GM McLellan acknowledged that Stephenson had been a good warrior for the team, never complained about his limited chances due to the full roster, and told him he would trade him somewhere where he would have a chance not just to play more, but win. Then traded him to Vegas. The story ended with the pundit guy saying, "players remember things like that".

If the Habs trade Suzuki for a pick, it sends the message to others that they aren't really that important, and that gets noticed.</div></div>


Great point!
