Right, but why? That's my point. No one is trading for him at 12 Million, especially this coming year. He is going to be in FA and if he wants to play here we will have as good of a shot as any at signing him. If he doesn't want to be here then the trade and restructure thing doesn't work so you are essentially in the same situation as waiting it out until FA.
The other piece here is teams are going to be cutting vets through next week so I am slowly playing any moves right now until I get a better feel for what options are available.
