Under the new CBA, are teams allowed to include cash considerations in a trade? The reason that I am asking, is that I'm wondering if that is what Lou Lamereillo might be planning. For instance, he may take a team such as the Pens that have tons of cap room and send them Mogilny and Malakhov (as well as cash considerations) as well as a high pick or two in return in for maybe some joutneymen players or marginal prospects they can send to Albany. NJ has incentive cause they get cap relief and may be able to keep Gomez and Gionta, whereas the Pens gain some draft picks without really having to increase their payroll. Whether it gets endorsement from the NHL is another question, but are these trades possible under the new CBA?
N.B. You can substitute Pit with Washington, or any other team with a lot of cap flexibility. I'm not asking about them being ideal trading partners, just whether or not the mechanics are sound
