Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5329760, member: 7511"] The idea that Dallas might “core” Arike and then trade her seems unlikely. With so many free agents in the W this coming season, it’s hard to imagine that any team would trade an asset to the Wings for Arike on a one year Supermax contract, only to lose her the following season. It would make far more sense to sign a veteran guard to a long term contract without the need to give up any assets. Futher to the point of coring, it’s equally unlikely that the Wings would core Arike and keep her, only to lose her to free agency the following season. If the Wings do elect to keep Arike, which is a debatable decision at this point, the only way it would make sense is if the team signs her to a longer term contract, i.e. 3+ years. [/QUOTE]
