Z is a great rental for a contender. He is a physical Dman who has some offensive upside and is a smooth skater in his prime. He likely wants to get an opportunity to show that value so some other team offers the 4-6 year deal at a significant raise next summer.
Irritating that Z calls out the team then makes a public trade request. For fans who are pro rebuild/retool/reload etc this is not a bad thing as it certainly almost cements their position going forward.
