It’s extremely difficult to make a major deal in this cap environment. Outside of the short window of the draft and the trade deadline, most teams are capped out. That means any significant deal involves interlocking cap management manoeuvres.

Look at the Karlsson deal. The only asset of that trade moved for on-ice value was Karlsson. The other pieces were an extraordinarily complicated exercise in cap management for the three teams involved.
