The reason I ask, I am noticing A LOT of big name players (usually signed long term) being added to the trading block (since the team they play on are up against the cap).
Below is an example of one very unrealistic instance:
Miro Heiskanen is an elite young Dman and Dallas " should" have zero interest in trading him. |
My opinion on this is there isn't enough information to reason why this might happen. Is the team full of defensemen and weak in other areas? Are they in Rebuild? Did they just get a new GM or Head Coach and maybe this guy doesn't fit their playing style? Is he a controversial player who has trouble with half the team and trading him would fix a lot of turmoil in the team?
You basically gave us little to no information to work with. Overall, at first look, I would agree that they just gave him a 7 year contract, and he's a top if not elite player, so why trade him? Without context...
