Wouldn't you rather have a package now that could help you for the playoffs? I don't think you will get much more at the draft because he is a UFA. Weber yes you could get more because a team at least has one year of control. How many time have we seen big packages traded for the rights to a UFA? Not any I can think of

This. They have to trade him before the deadline if they want something good. Why would you give good asstets when the guy is a UFA in a few days?
