He's an FA after this season, right? Should he extend his contract or go to another team before the deadline? What do you think guys?

He is on a 1 year, 4 million deal. He is a 1 and done type of player for us. I doubt he would net us anything more than an expiring swap.

He's still a good backup and always a good pro. It's foolish to move him until the kids push him out of the way.

In truth, I'd probably give him some say-so in the situation. I am of the belief that great, highly respected veterans, should have some say so in whether they get traded to a contender or simply play out their contracts on a bad team. Especially when unexpected, catastrophic injuries are involved.
He's the only vet on the squad I would extend that courtesy to. It's a sign of respect towards him, and also an indicator to future Free Agents that our locker room is filled with guys who actually want to be here.
