Even if the Rangers didn't want him back at any price, they could still give him the qualifying offer, have him accept, and trade him for a whole bunch of prospects.

It is still possible the Rangers had no desire in having him back.

Rangers willing to offer Hamilton 3 years...

So as I was saying, looks like they weren't in fact unwilling to have him back "even for free."
