I was trying to find guys like that on the UFA list this year and was having trouble finding out who those guys might be, but I agree with the strategy. It also works well for the player because often you don't know who the best contenders will be and can really narrow it down by the trade deadline. That way they don't risk signing with a team they think is a contender, only to see them have an off year or something.
Often you don't know who these guys are until August or September and they are left over after the frenzy. Maybe Gio could be someone like that if he still has gas in the tank.
