You’re exactly right. And I think that sometimes gets overlooked. You look back at the Frolik decision. You’re always looking ‘OK what’s your return in a potential move?’, and we added some draft capital in a fourth-round pick. But the key element is cap space, that is a massive asset in today’s environment where there’s so little of it and there’s been little growth in the cap in the past year. So yeah, we’ll monitor those situations (Hamonic/Brodie) and as we approach the deadline, hopefully make the best decision we can.
Now, the question before was about how he thought it might play out with Hamonic and Brodie approaching free agency. Treliving's response was basically about how they don't have a problem keeping these guys if it can make sense.
So who knows?

I think it would be a massive failure to not retain either one of Brodie or Hamonic or get any assets for them and the walk.
