from the St. Petersburg Times,
Gratton and Boyle have no-trade clauses, meaning they must approve any deal. But that doesn’t make things any easier.
“I try not to pay attention to it,” Gratton said. “We’re trying to stay focused and trying to climb back into the playoff race and worry about the task at hand.”
Would he waive his no-trade clause as he did when traded to Tampa Bay from the Panthers?
“You have to wait and see,” he said. “I was thankful to get the opportunity to come back here. I’ve made it known I don’t want to leave. But you always want to do what’s best for the franchise.”
“Ask me in a month,” Boyle said. “The last thing I want to do is talk about getting traded. I want to concentrate on playing well and helping this team turn things around. That’s my focus.”
