25%, the double in double max retention, of Gavrikov's salary at the deadline is ~226k the rest of the way.
Even if it was 500k, I'm not sure how you valued that at a 2nd round pick. It's out of scale with Foligno. The Pens only got Reaves and a 4th for eating close to $1.6 mil over 2 years
it has to do with real dollars.
i just said $500K~2nd round pick has a rough benchmark.
i don’t know what Columbus us willing to retain but acquiring teams needs it. So Columbus might do 25% but team needs a third team to retain 50%.
it is not the cap hit but actual money
Patrick Kane real salary is $2.9M
Garikov real salary is $4.2M
Monahan real salary is $6M.
that’s what matters if a third team is involved. This could affect the return.
people on here are only talking the cap hit which means nothing to the teams with cap space to eat contracts.
teams now don’t have as much cap space as the did 2 yrs sgo. Thr costs of third teams likely goes up.
For example buffalo has cap space and is in the WC fight. Are they going to help another east team get a player by doing a pass thru? Ottawa snd Detroit by dealine coukd be in it as well and they have some cap space.
early in the year I looked at teams salaries. Most were over using LTIR or only within $1M. A few teams were in the $1M-$4M in space snd about 6 teams had more space.
supply snd demand drive price.
I see Schenn returning more because it easier for teams to take on his salary.
