I know the NHL won't allow "buying" of players (the Gretzky rule). But what about trading retained salary?
Teams trade "bad" contracts by offering valuable assets (picks/players) just to get out from under them, why not allow the same thing with buyouts/retain salary?
Say LA which retained salary on Provorov ($2,025,000 for 2023-2025) trades the retained salary with a draft pick or player. Would(should) the NHL allow this? It's not a player LA controls in anyway whatsoever.
