Teams also need to be desperate to pay a 1st for someone to take cap relief
Flames did it to sign Kadri . So really it was Monahan and a 1st for Kadri
Toronto did it to sign their core RFAs longer term and avoid a MT situation
With the cap higher and also increasing this season , I don’t see a lot of teams as desperate for cap room as these two teams were (and both trades now look horrible - teams learn from others mistakes)
