As an update: I decided to trade his rights for Afinogenov, which wasn't really a fair trade, but I thought I'd lose him the next year as there was going to be another expansion draft (if he didn't sign). Sure enough, Columbus picked him up in the expansion draft. He played for them for a year, and then on July 1st the simulation auto-signed him to me for no money. I decided to enable commissioner mode to send him back to Columbus, which I managed to do, but now under his contract it says I've renewed it, even though I don't even have him. Weird stuff.
