When has a team ever traded a C coming off multiple 100+ pt campaigns because they didn't want to sign them to a long term deal? It would be absolutely insane to do this. Sure, you are overpaying for the last half of the deal - but you don't care about the last half of the deal because in all likelihood your window is closed. It is so rare and difficult in this league to build an actual cup contending team, to throw that chance away because you don't want to have a declining team in a few years will just ensure you'll never have a chance to win anything.
