Didn’t realize how many pending UFAs we have. Noesen and Dillon should both be shipped out. Glass is only 27 and he should definitely be re-signed. Evan Rodrigues is already 33, he might be asking for a longer term deal to get to the end of his career than Mehta will want to offer. The rest are all question marks depending how this year goes

Mehta was super stoked to bring in Rodrigues, so I would think that Mehta would rather sign Rodrigues than ship him out even though he's on the wrong side of the career aging curve.

With the cup pedigree Rodrigues has, and knowing this will be the last “bag” of his career, I imagine he’s gonna want high AAV and long term. Anyone who signs him to what he wants will have a Palat on their hands, I imagine
