Yes, sort of, if left open-ended. As long as the two sides agreed at time, and it fit within CBA rules. It would be called “future considerations” and teams would have to agree at later point on the compensation. But I doubt SJS goes for it, especially when there is plenty of other fruit on the tree.
The closest example that comes to mind….at the 2007 deadline, Nashville was headed to playoffs, Philadelphia was the worst team in league, but still had pretty good young roster (Richards, Gagne, Carter era). They traded Peter Forsberg for a package of items (Upshall, Parent, 1st, 3rd) and then after the season Philadelphia sent back the 1st to Nashville for two free agents (Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen). Both immediately signed extensions with Philadelphia. There was talk about handshake agreements, cap circumvention, etc. But the league ultimately approved since it is was exactly what both teams wanted.
So possible? Yes. Likely? Probably not.
