In my head, the sign and trade should be more valuable because of the degree of certainty it gives than trading him at this deadline with the risk that he walks to UFA at the end of next season.
Either way the value should be great.

Simple question. Can you do a sign and trade and only retain on the first contract? Or do you have to retain on the extension as well?
