When it comes to the pending unrestricted free agent status of defenseman Logan Stanley, there’s one thing that can’t happen in the conversation about trading him or signing him to a medium- or long-term contract: you can’t let him walk on July 1 for nothing.

Cam and Jim share their thoughts on what to do with Stanley. Is now the time to trade him while his stock may be higher than it will ever be?
