Question: Can a team trade away their retained salary from a trade in order to free ups additional cap space? For example, PIT currently holds $2.05M of Nick Bjugstad's 2020-21 salary. Can they trade that salary, say, along with a draft pick or prospect, to another team? Or, are they stuck with it?

Please don't respond with a link to a capfriendly page that'll take me 20 mins to read lol. Thx.

Once you retain salary on a contract you are stuck with it
