Ideally you want to sell all your pending UFAs without sending a bad message to the locker room, but realistically there's going to be a balanced approach
I find your black and white scenarios bizarre. Nobody is advocating trading all the UFAs. Besides, I would say that only 2 of them are worth trading(Hudler and Russell). The rest are of such low value(bar a surprise overvalued offer which we'd be stupid not to take), it really isn't worth trying to sell them.

I think we'll do the same as what we did last season. Get a couple of decent offers for Hudler and Russell and call it a day. No need to move anyone else.
