It fell apart late last night but I’ve been told Calgary was just a cap broker and it was the cost of assets + retention that caused it Columbus to pivot. Montreal was willing to eat the whole thing and that made the deal happen.
Dallas wants the flexibility after Benn contract is up.
FWiW - Sources said Calgary wasn’t retaining on Laine but instead eating someone’s contract for the season. I don’t know who. Columbus was being asked to eat as much as 50% by some teams.
