If you sell at the deadline, cap space helps for retained salary deals.
You neither buy or sell you can do what Minnesota did and broker deals to gain picks.
You buy, cap space is an asset.
If we can get a 4th now, I'd do it rather than hold out for a 3rd or 2nd. Plus the Wolf era would start now. I like that more than maybe getting a bit more for Vladar if he gets off to a hot start. IF.

THe value of the cap space doesn't change much, but as goalies get injured, the value of goalies goes up. The best time to trade a backup goalie is during the season, when other teams need a body.
