Maybe Sharks, but I don't see any rebuilding teams adding him. His value right now is that amazing contract. That's gone in a year. They'll want someone locked up long term for one of their potentially valuable 1sts, not Ras.
So, that leave contenders as trade partners. There will be a few very disappointed teams after round one where guys like Andersson and Coleman might fight in.
If Conroy decides to move on from those guys we are talking late 1st picks (probably this year) and other stuff. This won't be a Hamilton style trade. It will be a let's get Ras as a super #4 for a full season at $2.5 M (after retention) and see how he fares, we can extend if things go well or at worst he is a season long (plus playoffs) rental.
All that to say, lower your expectations about what we will get. He's not Hanifin, closer to Tanev.
For that reason, if he will take a team friendly contract, I'd rather keep him.
