Anaheim says you can keep Holl unless you send a decent pick with him. So will Arizona, Buffalo, and Seattle.
Dude, your assessment is just wrong.
If anything Anaheim accepts and runs away.
Maybe they go for a different player but they have no reason not to consider this.
This is more of an underpay if you'd actually take the time to consider all the facts.
Firstly, Holl isn't a cap dump. He won't cost a lot and carries a $2M AAV for 1 more year.
He plays on the PK and can log a lot of minutes.
Second, Anaheim only has 5 D under contract right now.
Most importantly, Anaheim is also more than $8M below the cap floor so they need to be cap compliant to start the season properly.
I swear people just see a player they don't want on an AGM and just scream cap dump.
