You have to look at the big picture with him. Will be 29 and his play has regressed the last 3 years for whatever reason. Not a player that should be in our long term plans, but likely our best trade chip.
You never know because we don’t know if what we get offered today would be worse in October or March 26. But if his play continues to slip you risk the offers maybe not being as good.
His cap should be easy to absorb for a contender as well. Think having that cost certainty for next season would lead to some good offers.

Yeah if you're a light switch guy, and don't live life with a dimmer switch then sure ... 100% asset management.
And if I'm staring down either player walking for nothing because their deals were up this year, then I'm with you 100%.
Since they're not I'm weighing the difference between the deadline and the summer for each players value vs the culture of the team for not gutting them, and the value of the development for the current young players for keeping the team together.
