Trading Branstrom isnt the play

Apparently retained salary doesn’t work like that I know it was news to me too but once it’s gone it’s gone until the contract is up

But you have to admit that was pretty solid idea and good thinking outside the box to squeeze a little more cap room lol. I’ll give this dude a lot of credit for his idea.

Oh yeah it’s genius and I made a post about the exactly same thing and that’s when I was told retained salary doesn’t work like that

100% right, Kubalik needs to be moved

However, I can't see the Sens carrying a 23 men roster at any point this season so you don't absolutely need that Murray retained salary thing to work

Once the Murray retention was done, it’s dead money. It cannot be put on LTIR. It requires a separate contract between the two teams, approved by league, that cannot be undone by LTIR status. (And cannot be bought it either)
