Rich Winter (Cody's agent) had this to say this morning when asked if Cody or his camp asked for a trade:

"No. I just find speculation fascinating. We didn't demand trade. Cody had a great meeting with Alain on Sat. Trade was a surprise...."

"Cody loved Vancouver, the vanc fans and the city. Team had different goals than Cody. The trade supports that. But it was a surprise."

"Now we did ask for more ice time..."

I also asked him if he could clarify what he meant by "Team had different goals than Cody. "

This was his reply:

@DrunkenCrunker "Nope."
