well you can't be for one...you have no idea
also, the difference between Rooney and a league min player does not make enough of a difference in salary retention.
Teams near the cap with competitive rosters care about salary retention...teams taking cap dumps for assets don't care at all. Honestly its a ridiculous premise.
550k is the difference between Rooney and a league min player...550k salary retention doesn't move you from a 1st to a 2nd as the sweetener. Not to mention Monahan's 10 team trade list only leaves 9 teams other than Montreal, likely very few if any with the cap or the desire.
Montreal had the hammer here
