IMO, this is a much more palatable way to use cap space. And once you trade them at the deadline, you regain the cap space in order to retain on outgoing players. Then repeat in the summer.

It’s a win win situation for everyone involved.
We get a player. They get paid. Whoever gets them at the deadline pays draft picks as a price and not a full cap hit or salary.
Just hope we are not handing out long term deals. Forsling would be someone to sign long term maybe
