Hey, we'll re-sign you in summer for this, but we can trade you for quite a bit now to a contender, we'll get a brighter future with some picks and prospects, and you can come right back for a contract along the lines of this in the summer and next season, whaddya say?

That'd be kind of sweet if it was the gameplan.
