Lol. You're like a little kid. I say "You can't have that for nothing" you go and stamp your little feet and go "wah, fine, I didn't want him anyway!" Yet you still desperately want him.

Or he can just pull a john tavares, dubois was an example because every jets fan thought they would get back cozens or top 10 pick when in reality he will sign a one year deal and will be gone by the summer. Use the meier trade for example, nj didnt give up one of their top 5 prospects for him lol

Even if he's a rental for Buffalo a team is going to pay a price where they want to sign him long term. You may have to pay more even tho he's a rental to you guys but maybe not to NJ or LA. The point remains the best offer gets him regardless of if he's willing to sign with them or not. Dubois was not a ufa last year lol so that makes no sense.

Regardless if he's a rental or not the best offer gets him so you may have to pay a price where the team would extend him even tho he may not with buffalo 13th upl and ostlund is fair lol 😆
