I think that is a no brainer for Edmonton. Would take Kassian off their PP.

$1.075M is the cap savings if you send a higher-paid player to the AHL. The rest of his salary still counts against your cap.
If they send Gagner down and claim Ho-Sang, it would only be a net cap savings of $200,000.
- With Gagner in NHL: $3.15M cap hit
- Gagner AHL/Ho-Sang NHL: $2.075M (Gagner non-buried cap) + $875,000 (Ho-Sang) = $2.95M total cap hit
