“In general, I’m not a big fan of giving up premium assets and top high draft picks and top prospects for rentals. In our state right now, I don’t think it’s appropriate, and a player to give that up for is not out there right now. If we’re going to give up an asset to acquire a player, I feel he has to be better than the player he is going to take out of the lineup. And then also, what is the cost to acquire that player? Is it worth that much?” – GM Steve Yzerman on trading for a defenseman before the March 2 deadline.
