You can't pay cash directly for players in a trade, but this was a way of paying cash indirectly.

They tried to trade a perfectly healthy player for a player retired and on LTIR so they could clear some cap space.
If that isn't taking advantage of LTIR I don't know what is...they obviously had a plan for that cap space they didn't intend on playing short handed for a few more weeks
