They’d have zero leverage if they tried that. Teams could just wait until closer to the start of the season, Francis would have no choice but to unload them or put them on waivers. What kind of idiot GM would trade for a player now that they can have for free in a month or two?

Any GM that isn't at the top of the waiver priority list?
Daccord over Tierney (maybe Daccord will be good)
MacDermid over B Lemieux or AA (both have been traded for value in the last year) or D-prospect Kyle Clague
John Quenneville over Zadorov (traded for value last year)
Twarynski over Rubstov or Hagg or Braun
True might be fine, but Donato and Gambrell seem more intriguing
CBJ list was weak, but a team like CGY should've been looking for a guy like Stenlund (instead of Pitlick).
Tierney 1x3.5M is the only one that would take significant cap space. Zadorov is a pending RFA.
