Makes no sense, and completely contrary to the simple rules of supply and demand.
If 10 teams are interested, whoever offers a reasonable trade consistent with the Hawks needs gets him.
A cap dump is harder when we are talking about either a high salaried player, or a terrible player. A $7M player limits the teams that are interested based on cap room.
A terrible player limits the teams interested because they suck, and requires a team prepared to essentially acquire picks for cap room.
That isn't what is happening here. Although the Hawks are moving a player for cap related reasons, thats simply what makes him available. Other teams are going to see a Leddy as a young, potential top 4 guy, with upside, and a low cap hit.
Sorry bud, that has significant value, regardless of the Hawks motivations, and the Flames will have to pay market price to acquire such a player.

I never said they weren't going to get nothing back. Just not full value. There is zero reason for any team to do so.
Ribiero and Ward aren't terrible players either and were cap dumps. Nothing happened to them because teams wanted too much. The Hawks are no different.
You're not getting it. I'm not going to repeat myself over multiple posts.
A cap dump is a cap dump is a cap dump. I'm out of this discussion.
