Let's Trade for Dougie Hamilton

If it is not enough, so be it. He has another 5 years at 5.75. He won't be a top pairing here.

 

Frankly, I think our best chance to get a potential top 4 guy is at the deadline. Anaheim is going to need cheap scoring help at the deadline and is bursting to the seams with D and top D prospects. They also have cap issues, and expansion issues. We an help.

We trade them Kane, eat 1/2 of Kane's deal this season for Theodore and Bieksa. We can afford the extra year on Bieksa's deal because we get rid of Kane's salary, plus Franson comes off the books. I'd even do the deal for Montour.

 

You can't just retain half of Kane's salary for this season. It you eat half of his remaining salary for this season, you have to eat the same amount for all of next season as well.

There is nothing in the CBA that limits how long you can retain salary for other then 50% of the players cap in a given year. The CBA doesn't say if you retain salary, you retain that % for the remaining of the term of the contract.

The 3rd bullet point in this article states that the retention can not be altered from year to year. I'm pretty sure that means if you retain 50% one season you have to retain 50% for all years remaining on the contract.
