Just seems weird to me. I'm picturing Treliving calling up SJ a year from now to decide on what the terms are and it seems SJ would just offer up their least valued asset, because they've already got the player and I can't imagine the NHL would overturn a trade a year later if they can't come to an agreement?

I guess it probably only works with players that really have no value at all, but still I wonder about these things.
Technically "future considerations" doesn't actually exist anymore the league knows what it is, now when it is used it is pretty much always a conditional 7th round pick where the conditions are unlikely to be met.
