Description
So in this hypothetical scenario, ANA moves a contract to DET to free up cap space much like the Staal trade. Detroit then flips the player to OTT with 50% salary retention in return for an LTIR contract and swap late 1st and early 2nd round picks for the trouble.

My question is does this trade help Ottawa in:

A) Real money as Gudbranson's salary this year is $3M and Gáborík's is $3.075M but I do not know if his contract is insured.

B) Cap money as I don't think OTT is over the threshold to get LTIR relief from Gáborík's contract. Obviously retaining on Gudbranson's deal gets them further from the cap floor, but in this case they'd be trading dead money for a player who can still take the ice.

Thanks for any info and have a great day!

    Ducks tell Yzerman to f off, Guddy was really solid in ANA, easily worth 4M for a team that doesnt need to shed cap, especially at the cost of any asset let alone the 36OA pick

    Anaheim would never pay you to take on that contract. Ottawa might do a deal to swap Gaborik for somebody making similar money / cap who can actually play, but that would benefit the other team and is something they would get a return, rather than paying, for.

    My Kingdom for someone who would answer the question(s) asked.

    Also, trade thread on the move that landed him in Anaheim seems to imply he's a boat anchor https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/279698
