«I don't know if the value for potential UFA's goes up in March or not; that's a marketplace decision that nobody can predict at this point,» McGuire pointed out.
«So what I would say in this situation, it's probably better to try and generate the marketplace before other people do, and the way you do that is, you send out messages around the league through your scouts that are on the road or your coaching staff that's dealing with other teams' coaching staffs, and you can create a marketplace, and if you can create the right marketplace, there's no time limit.
The sooner you can get it done is probably the better, depending on what you have in terms of offers.»
