Giving Rasmus a contract today instead of trading him at peak value would be a back breaking move for our hopes of competing over the next 5 years. And what's the point?
We need the picks/prospects that trading him can net the team. We also need to be worse in a shorter time frame.

I just don't think you can manage with such rigidness. The decision to trade or not trade Rasmus needs to be a rationale one based on:
- The player's desire to stay or not
- What type of contract he will accept (term, length and level of protection)
- What you can get for him in return
