The last thing the trade board probably needs is another Shattenkirk thread, but I got to thinking about something over the weekend. Let's say the Blues and the player agree to a "Petro money" extension of 7 years at $6.5M AAV, and that extension has a limited no-trade clause (say 8 teams on his "yes" list) that kicks in for the last year of his current deal and the first year of his new deal, and a full NTC (not NMC) after that. Under the current circumstances, this would obviously mean that the player signs the extension knowing that he is still being shopped, but that he has financial security and a say in where he can and can't be dealt.
With that detail being ironed out, and assuming your team is on his 8 team list, what would your team reasonably offer for 8 years of Shattenkirk (at $49.75M combined) under those terms, knowing that signing him as a UFA after next season is no longer a possibility? It just seems like the "Shattenkirk to Team X" threads get bogged down in the player being a "rental" or "why give up assets when we can sign him for nothing" and I am curious as to what fair value fans of various teams might be willing to give up for him with the cost and term being solidified.
