Sure he could have, last I checked player with NTCs get asked to waive them all the time. That wasn't the point though, it's just another data point. You have his value last year, let's say Nelson was a good comparable, and you have his speculated right now, so Rhett draws a line between the 2 points, and argues that Kadri's value was higher 2 months ago.
Is it 100% certain to be the case? Of course not. That said when similar arguments are made in order to pump Conroy's tires, like waiting to get more value for Andersson, no one has any problem with it, or questions the point.
