Schmaltz has to be one of them.
Gets hurt, perceived as soft and inconsistent in effort. Gets linked to Buffalo in trade rumors. Craig comes out with a puff piece about how much he wanted to be out there and now we hear agents are saying the player wants to stay, give them a chance etc... He's only owed $3m this year but $6m the next.
At least Chayka made those contracts ratchet upward and gave them no early protection so they're movable.
