In terms of timing I do get why Rasmus would rather have this done sooner rather than later.
You wouldn't want to get traded on Feb 6 right before you and you family are flying to Milan for the Olympics on Feb 11, and you certainly don't want to get traded in the middle of the olympics.
I would bet Rasmus and his agent would be pushing hard to have this done by January 15th or so if I were to pick a date.
