Adelaide midfielder Rory Sloane has taken himself off any AFL trade table.
But Sloane concedes some of his Crows teammates could go as the club jostles for draft positions.
Adelaide have been stripped of their first and second round draft picks at the next national draft, part of their penalty for Kurt Tippett's rule-breaking contract.
The Crows have made plain an intent to deal their way back into the high end of the draft, prompting several rivals to reportedly inquire about Sloane.
The 23-year-old is contracted until the end of 2015 and says he won't be leaving.
"It's my call, so I'll stay," Sloane told reporters on Monday.
But the Victorian-born playmaker, who made his debut for Adelaide in 2009, said the Crows will have to strike some deals involving players to return to the upper draft.
"That is the pretty much the only way we can get back into the top end of the draft," he said.
"That is part of the whole football industry, that sort of stuff will happen - hopefully it's not me that gets forced out, but I don't think it will be.
"We're always looking at improvements, and players out of contract, and how you can make a team stronger."
