I mean, you took on Matheson and Sceviour's contracts which give you less cap space than before Horny. I could see him liking Sceviour for PK, but Pittsburgh added over 6M in cap this season. Got to think you could do better than that in free agency or buying a better cap dump...
I interpreted this trade as over-priced asset for over-priced asset
Less cap space but they are saving 600k this year in real dollars. Every move Rutherford has made this summer has been saving real cash.
The McCann contract is back loaded for next year, Bjugstad saved us real dollars, Kapanen trade gave us a RW whose largely paid off and allowed us to move out an expensive AHLer, etc.
