I wasn’t suggesting starter level players. This likely would be a for bench guy….who can actually contribute. There are plenty of those every year.Expiring contracts don't hold the value they did 10 or even 5 years ago. What deals have been made recently that involved expirings without draft picks have been made for starter level players over the last 5 years?
The idea of moving an expiring for value without picks attached is like planning on winning the lottery. It's possible, sure, but very unlikely.
