The interesting part, is that this would all have to be negotiated before the trade went down, and NSH isn't giving up a bunch of assets for a couple extra years of term... meaning this could end up being Dougie Hamilton signed for 8 years and traded for a 3rd round pick. Would the NHL and/or PA allow that?

Well, the PA would have zero say in any trade, and the league wouldnt intervene unless there was something throwing the cap compliance out of whack or there was a circumvention involved.
