There is going to be a bidding war. That increases the return. How do they reporters have a job?

What diminishes his value is the fact that Calgary has to trade him, and likely by the arbitration hearing.
Because once that decision comes down, he can't sign a extension until Jan 1, and that will really diminish his value.
There will only be a bidding war if multiple teams want him, can fit him in cap wise, and he's on their list.
The timing after UFA has gone on for awhile is bad, and many of the best teams he'd want to go to already have a troubling cap situation.
