yea I mean that's why I would trade him and because a guy like him at this age should be on a contender as a secondary scoring option not on a rebuilding team as a primary option. Plus I think they might lose him to an expansion draft so might as well try to get other assets instead of losing someone for nothing. but that's another discussion
The problem is his contract isn't exactly friendly to a team that is close to the cap. We'd probably have to retain a pretty good chunk of salary, and I don't know if the return would really be worth it.
