Yup, sell him as a rental to a team that thinks they can convince him to sign after a season with the team. Only being willing to trade him to Vegas now gives them the leverage.
Carolina traded for Rantanen last year in the hopes they could sign him, only to trade him again and end up with Stankoven.
