This was actually part of the discussion this morning. Pels insider (Cossell?) said we could hopefully resign BI under a friendly deal and use draft assets to acquire someone like Carter. Guess we will see. May be some truth to this though.
I think you're right, at least that is exactly what the Pels want to have happen - and BI wants to be here - so it is certainly possible. But if that "common ground" Griff referred to can't be reached, then we'll see a BI trade.
