Dependent on situation for sure. 24 year old D-man with upside and no trade protection? For sure that's an asset of a contract if you think you'd most likely want to trade him still. Players in the 27-30 range who end up getting 5-8 years and won't sign without a small no trade list at minimum generally aren't giving you a leg up in terms of tradability.
