Now Caged Great now more easily turns over his roster and moves pieces around so frequently that those handcuffs will be removed almost immediately and thus a perfect trade for this type of organization. Compared to an origination (Canes) that moves on a snails pace and seems to have a commodity of 100 that have to all be in agreement for every roster move ... such a 4M handcuff could cribble the organization and stuggle to find wiggle room by the trade deadline.
I think it's a great trade for all parties, much similar to the Bruins deal early... But I think the dance participants must fill those needs rather then the rebuilding ones.

That is fair, and you don't need to agree with that thinking. The snails pace model doesn't work. It have never worked in the CPHL... ever. All it takes is 1 year I suppose but the most active GMs are the ones winning. The ones making high risk deals and trading great players for futures are the ones with rings.
