Those wanting to trade Rasmus for a "haul" - the haul doesn't disappear after he signs a contract. Similarly, those who want Rasmus gone because he won't age well then other teams probably see that as well. I have no issue with Conroy trying to determine where the best value for this player resides.

I said several times last summer that the time to trade Rasmus was now. After 10 points in 8 games with a +6 rating he has 11 points in 53 games and is -28. His value is going down every game. What contending team thinks he is a lock to be in their top pairing? Maybe 2nd pairing at best. We might get a 1st still but the big return isn't happening anymore.
Trade him now while we can still get a 1st.
