NHL Stunned: Nikita Kucherov’s Unexpected Trade Demand Sparks League-Wide Speculation
Schiiler: “Yeah, and whenever you get a superstar asking for a trade, Pierre, it’s going to send shockwaves around the league. So, what’s been the reaction from the league’s power brokers?”
LeBrun: “Yeah, I heard from several NHL GMs this evening, and the word “stunned” is the word that was used the most often in messages from other GMs around the league. No one saw this coming. Everyone expected Kucherov to be a Lightning for life, and so a lot of disbelief.
Frankly, one GM said he didn’t think the story was true until he checked on it to make sure. And it is hard to believe. But as another GM said to me, Glenn, this is the era officially now of player empowerment.
