Fair enough, he does stand out in something. Good for him.

Whether he fits the team moving forward or not is the debate, but again.. why the rush to move him now?

The original question was whether or not he's going to be on the move this year. I think you can extend that to this season if that makes more sense.
So it's not so much a question of moving him right now, but a question of whether or not he should be considered a part of the future anymore.
It's obviously not going to be 100% either way. Even if he's listed as "to be traded", until the right deal comes along, he'll have time to prove himself. Even if he's considered a part of the future now, this could change if, for example, Corban Knight gets a look and manages to pass him in the lineup.
