The way I read it Price isn't really much of a cap dump. He's owed $5 millon signing bonus on September 1st, and then only owed $2 million for the remainder of the season, of which quite a bit is covered by insurance.
The article doesn't seem to think any Price trade would happen until after his signing bonus would pay out, meaning there's not much actual salary for a team to pay to take on the $10.5m cap hit, which Montreal sees as value for a team trying to stay above cap floor.
