The question is, how long do you think Tka#### will stay with the team? Will he sign a 9 million long term deal? Do you really want to pay him 9 mill per? Is he going to leave as soon as he can? This team isn't a contender now, if they stay with the same roster will he help carry the team and if they do go for a rebuild will he make them good enough to not pick in the top 5? What kind of assets will he bring back in a trade? Will his trade value increase or decrease in time? Will a team give up significantly more for him if they can sign him to a contract? Maybe he takes less than 9 to sign in St. Louis or to play with his brother?

There are just too many questions around him and I don't think he's dynamic enough to be worth 9 mill. He'll also bring back the most in a trade which will either help the rebuild or if they "retool" will help the team push forward to maybe just missing the playoffs instead of completely missing the playoffs...I say that because this team isn't good enough to make the playoffs, keeping this team together will not lead to success.
