And again, this is the last time I'm saying this:
Say you trade Bennett in the Stamkos deal, you still have to pay Monahan. Can you keep Monahan, Gaudreau and Stamkos under the cap? Probably not.
Which means someone has to go.
So, while not included in the trade, is a cost of acquisition none the less.

First of all I never said it would be cheap. I'm saying you don't need to give up both Mony and Bennett along with a 1st.
Secondly, you can get under the cap. Wideman, Smid, and Raymond are likely to be gone after this season, Jones and Hudler are also UFA's.
