They'll spend money if they can to take cap dumps etc. to get prospects and draft picks.

With only 1 year left on their contracts, now is the perfect time to get rid of Kane and Toews. For Chicago they can retain salary and that cap retention only lasts for a year. They don't seem to need to worry about exceeding the cap this year. For the other teams they only have to worry about those players for 1 year. They can keep them if it works out and they have space or just move on.
