We knew this

but the major question is do you trade 6 years of a guy who may be an ace, or may just be rotation depth, for a guy who is definitely an ace, but you get him for 1 or 2 years.

Not many guaranteed aces are available on long term deals, so the question becomes how much do you give up to rent one.
