I'm guessing that the money transaction could have been worded that Colorado will gain 2.5 million in cap. Still because cap is generally equalized in season, it comes across a little odd, although Colorado is now positioned to pick up an errant waiver drop, I guess.

Seems a little light compared to the Dvorak ask earlier in the season, but it's not totally out of line. The way that I would have looked at it, would be that the pick should be enough to buy a buried player on someone else's ahl team, covered by 2.5 million cap.

So if a 2.5 million buried player can be bought with a 4th or a bit more, then all is good.
