So you can maximize your trade value and potentially punch your ticket. I wouldn't be accepting that cap dump lumped in with a couple mid grade prospects.

As for the rest of the ufa crop, you'll sign a couple, lose a couple... They don't appear to have much value now, so why not play the majority of the season with them and see if you're any good.
The uncool thing is if they get hurt we aren't getting anything for them, always a bit of a gamble to go past X-mas in my opinion.
