Yes cap is King, but that's because so few teams have any. To get maximum value in trading our players, we'll need to take back lots of bad contracts or teams won't be able to fit those players onto their team.
I assume you've talked with Murray and got his OK on tearing the team down?

I agree and those bad contracts will help fill out the roster.
Also some bad contracts get new opportunities and could turn it around and be deadline deals. I think back to taking a guy like Zucker back in a trade a few years ago. Zucker had a very good year last year.
Lucic was more effective here than Edmonton and could have been traded with salary retained if he had NMC
If you take short term bad contracts and play these guys they also could turn into picks
