There is absolutely absolutely no issue with this.
A piece of Rasmus' calibre shouldn't be traded for a rental price (which is what Vegas previously gave up for Hanifin because they were also the only team on him)

Trading a guy with term, which CGY should've done here, sidesteps that problem entirely. Teams typically aren't as concerned with how extension talks will go when they're a year or more in advance
