I think the biggest problem with moving a guy out now is that you might end up moving a guy out you didn’t have to, or worse, moving a guy out and finding out you have to make another move on top of it.
If you move Frolik, and only needed $1M in space, you made a mistake. If you move Jankowski and find you need to move another $1M in space, you made a mistake. I think both situations are worse than potentially reduced value for what will already be low-value moves. But that’s just me.

I agree the value in all these potential deals are not equal and we don't know how different obviously.
And while I doubt term has been agreed to, I imagine each camp can predict the number for 5, 6, 7 years to within $500K. And Treliving better have an idea by now as to which of those terms he can afford.
You just don't want to be in a situation where you are one of a few teams looking to move salary, the market is moving away from you, and the clock to be salary cap compliant is ticking.
