12.75M in dead cap (that goes up to 14.75M the following two seasons)

=

73.3 Million dollars.. out of a flat cap of 82.5M

That leaves them 9.2M dollars to fill out 11 roster spots.. while sporting laughably poor depth throughout the roster and having no quality prospects on ELC's to fill important holes as a result of the trade.

Agreed. No idea if that’s what they would give up (too much/too little) for eichel but what else could be the motivation for buying out these guys? There has to be a “win now” move to explain this because these buyouts handcuff them in the very near future.
