Sign and trades are just wishful thinking for fans of a team that are about to lose a valuable asset for nothing via free agency.
Best you can realistically hope for in my opinion, is that a team trades for his rights prior to the free agency courting period in an attempt to get him signed before anyone else can talk to him. This would usually be done for a 2nd to 4th round pick when it comes to a high profile UFA like Carlson. The Stars did this to get Ben Bishop last off season.
