I thought this was a joke when I saw the title. But it seems you are serious. haha. So, I guess it is better than not trading him, missing the playoffs, and him walking away in free agency. But I doubt the Isles give up by the TDL. They are gonna push for the playoffs until the last possible moment. They've already committed too much to turn around and pull a move like that. Unless he did this with the sole purpose of flipping him with retention and hoping to recoup and then some. I understand the logic, but something like this would be unprecedented.
