What are the rules again with retaining salary? Skinner can be traded with 50% retained. But can his salary be retained a second time? So he is traded to the Flames as part of an Eichel package with 50% retained by Buffalo. Can Calgary flip him to another team at 50% retained again? So Buff pays $4.5, Calgary pays $2.25 and team 'X' pays $2.25?

EDIT: It looks like it can be retained a second time as per CapFriendly
Teams cannot retain an aggregate amount of more than 15 percent of the Salary Cap Upper Limit.
Players’ contracts are limited to 2 retained salary transactions per contract.
