I get that it's Edmonton, and they might do it all over again because: derp.
But if the cap recapture fees transferred with the player, there's not another team in the league that makes that trade with Chicago and Chicago is still hooped.

This has already all happened with Luongo. You’re trying to change the rules because it’s Edmonton. Kieth is one of the last existing contracts that this will even apply to anyway.
