If this had been before FA and the draft, it’s a different discussion. Resorting to trading him now is a disaster and that would absolutely be a pretty clear miscalculation on Veach’s part.
I ultimately think he’ll show up and play the season out under contract and I think that’s probably where the team’s at.

To be clear, I am not applying the trade option to this year. It would be the tag and trade option prior to the draft next year.
