That is exactly it.
You can do something like Fleury + Semin for Agostino.
Then you flip Semin to somewhere else with a couple million retained for a return.
Costs you only money and you could get two good prospects.
You could even give Semin a chance here until the end of the year. Never know if he finds chemistry with Hudler or Gaudreau, goes on a tear and then worth more in the offseason.
