This is the reality of CHI's situation.
What he's saying is yes their hands is kind of forced (though they can get under the cap without trades), the demand would be high, and thus the price would go up. Sure its a salary dump, but they cant be held over a barrel if there's a bidding war. Edmonton, Vancouver and a myriad of other teams would try to jump in that trade. You aren't getting either for a low price
