There's always something to be said for getting an exclusive negotiating window. Lots of times teams sign players in such a window.
A signed Engelland is probably worth 3 times more than anybody else we exposed. Plus VGK may be looking to corner the defenseman market for the next couple days leading up to the entry draft. They can literally control the trade market on defensemen for quite some time.
