I think one of the big traps that rebuilding teams (and maybe mostly their fans) get into is the mindset of trading everyone of value that isn't under the age of 25. That's how you end up with a 13 year rebuild like Buffalo and Edmonton. Young players need good players to play with or else they just don't develop. If a guy with that kind of skill is willing to sign at a reasonable rate, keep him. If not - sure get some assets but we shouldn't look to strip this team to the studs.
