It was a scenario where they would have either had a good player on a decent contract or an expiring asset to trade for futures.
In all cases they ended up trading the player for futures after holding firm on contract offers the player wouldn't accept.

The only one that made me nervous was Lindholm. He looked super checked out here but thankfully his demands were so high that it never really got that far. I still would have been fine if they re-signed Hanifin and then had the option of flipping Weegar or Andersson. We will know a lot more about the direction by the draft/free agency.
