I think a lot of players get spoiled after their treatment in Calgary, where there's a lot less cold hearted business type moves. Something similar happened to Gaudreau (RIP), when he left. He thought he would just waltz into the east coast and be treated to a big contract. The teams there put the screws to him and he ended up circling back to Columbus.
I think Rasmus is in for a rude awakening if he thinks he's going to get both the team of his choice and a fat contract.

There is a difference between a team on his NTC v. him saying he's not willing to re-sign with a team, now, and bypass free agency.
He may want to understand his options, and he's not going to be able to do that if he re-signs with a team now.
