It pretty much goes against the Waddell model of accumulating draft picks and building outside of UFA. I suspect he wants to move down from 4 and pick up other young assets or picks. But if he is going to trade it for a now asset it is much more likely to be a cost controlled asset like Chychrun. He has 24 million in cap space to sign 8 players, it is not like he actually needs space to go make a UFA splash. He will have even more after he moves Laine.
