For some reason, in recent years, these cap dump trades have been done where a team trades a player with a contract they want to move + a pick for a lower pick ... it's kind of weird that this keeps happening, because usually the team getting rid of the contract would get an AHLer in return, or they just trade the player with the contract they want to move + a top prospect for a low pick, just to make it look like they weren't just dumping a contract lol.
Maybe that's not why they used to do it like that, but it's kinda what I assumed.
