That's what they're hoping will happen, it's not rocket science.

Addition by subtraction.
Second leading scorer on the team not getting the ice time. 6 goals in last 3 for the team. Yeah that makes sense bench him. Media and fanbase have made the guy the reason for losses since he’s been here.
He's a floater, not strong on the puck, makes dumb decisions, ruins O-fence, setting a bad example and is not earning his paycheck (just like Buchnevich).
Lot of guys not performing. Schenn is -13 so he fights guys team still not responding. Parayko has no goals in 13 games. You’re a troll anyway but reasoning is flawed. Joseph and Texier give you a better chance to win? You’ve got to be kidding.

What if his agent told him yesterday, "Listen, the GM approached me and said he has offer to trade for you, and I actually think that it might make sense for a few reasons around your personal goals, interests, etc. that you and I have talked about before. Let me know what you think?"
So, it was on his mind last night...and maybe just maybe, he said yeah but...so they are either working on those details and do not want to risk injury?
Or perhaps it's nothing more than "we have had enough, get it together." And if he doesn't respond well, then waive him. Somebody will take him and the contract/salary goes away. From the comments on here for the past couple of years, I know there will be moaning about, "But we could have gotten something for him!!"
However if he is that bad, then folks have indicated they will be ecstatic. At least he'll be gone. We've got other young guys coming up, or will have more cash to spend to pick up somebody else. And it might rattle the other failing players.

Why single out Kyrou? This team is full of underachieving, uninspired players.

You think they should scratch the Captain that is pretty much the only one sticking up for teammates and showing any fight?
You think they should scratch the best all-around defenseman on the team, that will most likely play for team Canada in the Olympics?

Because he's a floating prima donna, that's been floating around for 4-5 years now.

Yes because the Captain is -13 and THAT has a bigger impact than scratching one of the only guys that provides any offense. No way Parayko makes Team Canada if he continues at this pace.

That was a crossroads moment for the two teams I follow and, well, we all see how it turned out.
Or just include Kyrou in the O'Reilly trade and keep Thompson.

In hindsight yea. But at the time, almost anyone would’ve said that was the right call

Schenn provides other intangibles when not showing up on the scoresheet. Does Kyrou?

70 points is good but not irreplaceable.

Again, it’s one game. If he’s out again next game maybe there’s a conversation to have. We don’t know what happens in the room or in practice. It’s just insane to me that with this one guy in particular there’s a segment of the fan base that refuses to accept anything but glowing praise for Jordan Kyrou.

Say that on Twitter and the advanced stat nerds will pounce like a hyena on a baby zebra.
