I know it’s been pointed out that Conroy has been given authority to retain salary but I wonder if that only applies to UFAs. For example, I imagine trading Kadri or Huberdeau would be pretty easy if their cap hits were $3.75 million and $5.25 million. I imagine Conroy could get a really solid return for those players under those cap retention circumstances. I’m not saying those would be smart moves as a GM. I know those are the most extreme cases of cap retention but it’s a point against the blanket statement that he has full authority to retain salary.
