All this mess gets avoided if NHL just allows conditional picks for that scenario still.
Detroit could offer Danielson + a Conditional 1st (1st if he re-signs, 2nd if he doesn't) and you don't need the song and dance.
NHL seems to hate any rules that might actually facilitate making trades easier.
Conditional picks, get rid of that. Double retention, nope. The ability to just trade salary cap, are you crazy!

The conditional picks was pressure from the NHLPA. Double retention and trading cap dilute the point of the cap. The easiest thing to go after would be the insane amount of NTCs but the NHLPA will never agree.
