Either the cap moves is to move out bad contracts and pay assets or it is to move out good contracts at a lower than normal value because other teams know you need to dump cap.
So not only is the question of what can you sign him for, but what it will cost to fit him in as well.

I would have to imagine those costs for dumping cap are quite high. Max pacioretty , a very capable top 6 winger was given away for free. For the islanders if Lou is wanting an asset back for Bailey I can’t see it happening. For the flames have to think the cost of trading overpaid 4th liner lucic or Monahan would be a big cost right now.
