Otherwise hang onto him for a little while.

People keep throwing out this “unicorn” label and if it boosts his trade value then great, keep doing it. I don’t disagree he has a very unique, highly skilled toolbox and if there was no cap every team in the league would have a roster spot open for him. But there is a cap, he’s not going to sign an extension with any team, and more importantly, how important is having this rare “unicorn” in order to win a Stanley Cup, or even have success in the playoffs? Did Tampa or Colorado need one?
