This case could also bring to light something for the RC to consider...I can see the rule's benefit for newly signed FA, but the rule carries less benefit for extended players. Again, not speaking towards this case (my return was a spec, so no dog in the hunt) just those in the future...a player whose contract did not expire should not be subjected to the same restrictions as newly signed FA IMO. There is no competitive advantage to be gained from extending then trading a player, at least not that I can find. Food for off season 2015 if nothing else.
