I think the lesson is that if your star player is hemming and hawing for an entire year about re-signing, you just need to trade the guy no matter what he says. That person is just not fully committed to your team, and you need to move on. Every once in a while you have an exception like Stamkos, but the vast majority of the time the guy is as good as gone.
