When he waived his clause I would have ate some salary and took what I could in return. My goal would have been to move him no matter the return when the chance presented itself. He was never really in our long term plans and we really weren't (or are) ready for a deep playoff run. Torts was really wanting to give ice time to our youth.
I tend to take a different view than most GM's (and most people for that matter). To me the cap space was more valuable than his production.
Knowing what I know now, I have to say I'd have been more highly motivated to move him as well. Seriously - I think I have been laboring under the idea that his contract was up in 2018 since...maybe forever.
