As for teams not wanting to take on cap without moving it out. Look at it this way. Johnny Gaudreau is a UFA and his agent his emails every GM in the league saying he is looking for a 2 year deal with an AAV of 6.75. How many GMs make the offer?

Yes, the trade is harder for them to do since they give up assets... But in this scenario, that agent gets 31 emails back. That is unbelievable value after all.

So how many teams are willing to make the deal of futures or young players with minimal cap going back to Calgary? My guess is, lots.
