If so, perhaps this was their plan all along, if we didn't trade him to the Rangers.

No, he would have had to be in the 2011 draft. BUT he could have chosen not to sign with the team that drafted him again, and then he would have been a UFA in another 2 years. I believe that is correct, but I welcome correction if not.
