Trade & FA 2024-25:

[DL2RimRocker]

Trading Gafford this year or next year are two completely different conversations. This year? Hell no. Next year? Possibly.

I don't recall any suggestions to trade him this season. The conversation was always about next off season or the 2026 TDL.

It really comes down to what role he wants to play at age 28 when his salary expires and what his market value will be at that time.
I'm anticipating he won't want to settle for a backup role and there will be some interest by other teams in FA.

Right now we have about 22.5 mil tied up in the center position which is pretty damn good considering the talent level and our current overall situation.
But the strong possibility of having over 35 mil tied up in the center position wouldn't make much sense if there are other areas of serious need.
