I still think that teams let other teams off easy though, but you should use that as an option to gain an asset. NJD had 0 interest in Severson at this point with Hughes 100% on the team next year. They got a 3rd and Columbus got a better deal than they would waiting til July 1. IMO though Columbus getting this done now likely is worth more than a 3rd as the cap hit could have been higher come July 1 due to only having the option for 7 year deal.
But I agree, this should happen more and more and should have been happening years ago.
