Rutger wanting out sucks, but it also opens up a whole new window of opportunity offloading salary.
If rebuilding teams are willing to take on salary (they are most likely to have room) to not get torched by the return it's a win win.
Offloading a bad deal won't be as painful if a team is getting a cost controlled NHL ready guy like Rutger. That's an opportunity that just isn't there with a guy like Ehlers
