So let's just say rosloiv has positive value without retention of 5th rounder.
2million = 4th - 5th
So in this case 6million = x3 4th - x3 5ths.
So..
1st = x3 4ths - x3 5ths
So..
1st + x3 5ths = x3 4ths.
Which is obviously not true. The value is way off. So these teams were valuing cap space very differently.
Flames payed alot for the cap space. New York didn't pay very much.

Deal A is 6 million dollars against the cap
Deal B is about 300,000 dollars against the cap, not 2 million. I don’t think that a 5th round pick was involved in the deal (but I could be wrong). Assuming there was no 5th round pick the math is more like
1st = 20 4th round picks
I have no idea if someone would trade 20 4th round picks for a single 1st (nor do I think it would ever be possible to accumulate that many picks) but according to this site
https://dobberprospects.com/2020/05/...abilities/amp/ there is about a 10% chance a 4th round pick plays 99 NHL games and a 37% chance a 1st plays that many games. So the value may be close.
