One thing that keeps getting forgotten is that there is no way to value a trade as a "pure rental".
Trading Andersson now *might* be a rental, but you are also trading the negotiation rights to the new team. They might trade those negotiation rights to another team or they might extend Andersson themselves. Either way, there is more value to be had than simply playing out the one season and a good GM should extract that value instead of throwing their hands in the air and saying "oh, well, he'll probably go UFA".
Now that trades cannot include conditions around signing extensions you should really demand more under the assumption that an extension will happen and it is up to the other GM to make it so.
