$5M retained?
Definitely talking Newhook + Byram.

At 5mil retention I’d expect it would never happen. That’s 5 years of Buffalo dealing with -5mil on their cap and within 3 years they’ll need that money for their younger players.

$5m x 5 retention would be absurd. No way that would happen.
If retention happens it would likely be in the $1m - $1.5m range, and even then it would probably cost a 1st. That's $5m - $7.5m real dollars after all.

I get it. The value I'm saying. $5M retained on Eichel for that term and caliber of a player? It constitutes that type of return. COL doesn't have to feel that way but it's universally accurate value assessment.

If BUF agreed to retain 50%, if your top prospect is not involved the trade does not happen. For Colorado, it would have to start with Newhook, possibly Byram. I’m not that familiar with the Avs prospects, but one of those 2 would be guaranteed to be in that kind of package.

he just retained an arbitrary amount, read through the comments

5m is just an arbitrary amount retained by Sensonfire, dont get side tracked by it being 5m, that is not really the point of this roster conversation

Okay then.
Please see my little note about retaining Eichel's salary.
Once again, I apologize for the misunderstanding
