I agree that they probably won't make any trades until at least US Thanksgiving, but I don't agree that no one has the cap room. Lindholm is $4.85M, retain half, and that's less than $2.5M, with the number decreasing daily. So acquiring Lindholm would only require moving a contract in the $2-2.5M range, and most teams probably have a young guy on a 2nd contract that would fit that bill, for whom they would trade to get Lindholm.
Exact same argument for Hanifin.
