Reading between the lines, I think the players that do not want to extend here are behaving in a similar vein to Tkachuk because they have positive relationships with Conroy and the rest of management, so there is a cooperative effort to maximize return and to move these players to teams that they are comfortable with.

If the return is higher just trade them to which ever team possible. No need to think about the players' preference.
