4) A contract extension could be included as a part of the trade
5) There is a big market for RD and not a lot of options available for the next couple of summers, especially for players who are proven to be able to play top line minutes

I doubt the return will be as good as I am hoping for but I believe there is a good chance that it is better than either the Hanifin or Tanev trades.
I don’t think he will more than the Hronek and first Chychrun trade. Only getting Tanev value would be bad though.
