Overpay in UFA on short term deals or swap players like Mangiapane/Dube for players the pro scouts think are a better fit. Don't need to spend assets to do it.

Seems like a good guy though we should probably try to do what's best for the organization and for his sake, unless he really wants to be here.
There is no trade for him that makes sense. Nurse would be about the only target for a bad contract swap. Retaining a million won't do much for his value and retaining 3-4 million doesn't make sense.
