If the right deal comes along move him. Don't do it just to get rid of the guy, he has more value than that to a playoff team as a depth player on an expiring contract.
Tricky situation for Treliving. He needs what everyone else needs, and no way do I want to get into a bidding war for someone we lose as a rental, or all of a sudden have to protect in the draft exposing Gio or Brodie.

Are we really at a spot in the rebuild to be spending the massive assets it would require to get a top four D-man just as a rental?
