This is the absolute best time to trade an aging player. This is also another reason why you shouldn't give no trade clauses to retirement contracts. Save those for players like Parekh and Wolf.

You don’t give no trade clauses. They are part of the negotiation and often big parts.
The reason you don’t do this is if the player has been clear they have no interest in going, asking him to waive could be insulting and harm the relationship. So where that ends up is the player says fine I’ll go but I’ll decide where…thereby limiting the trade market severely. Or you keep him but have an unhappy player still signed for a number of years
Again if you know he doesn’t want to go there is no need to ask
This isn’t fantasy hockey. These are real people
