No more than 50% of any player’s contract can be retained, no matter how many teams are retaining. I’m surprised a hockey journalist would overlook this.
I don't think this is right.
Pittsburgh traded Rob Scuderi to Chicago and retained 33%. Then Chicago traded Scuderi to Los Angeles while retaining 50%.
All on the same contract. He was originally making $3,375,000 but by the time LA had him he was making $1,130,625.
