Maybe the play is to leverage this with LA?
Give us a better return despite no extension and spend the year trying to convince him to stay. Otherwise, looks like someone you covet may end up as a division rival for 6-8 years.
Maye that's enough to get Holland to blink? Might not be the initial apparent return they offered but still better than peanuts to VGK?
Hindsight is always 20/20 but man, would've been great to have dealt him last TDL. Also, pretty crappy to whomever leaked this. We never seem to get leaks that help us out, cripes sake.
