I think where it can be relevant is if the player can turn the trade negotiations into an asset for him during the contract negotiation.
Vancouver will have just given up a 9th overall pick for him, that could give Reinhart a pretty good position in the trade negotiations.
I do feel like this happened a bit with Anderson and Montreal. Anderson saw how much Montreal coveted him in the trade, and was able to turn that into a contract that was really good for him.
