Tampa is still in win now mode. Hagel's contract vs production is far too valuable to consider trading.
It would have to be such a ridiculous overpay, that it would be far from worth it.
Chicago wasn't being competitive and they still got 2 1sts for Hagel.
For Tampa to make this today, it would take a quality replacement roster player, 2x 1sts, and good prospect(s). -- at which point, you're better off looking for a similar style player on a team no competing to bring the price wayyy down.
