Currently, both teams have no cap, and FLR needs to already clear 3m to add Duclair. For there to be a path for a trade 1) SJ needs to have traded Meier away (or gain cap somehow) and 2) SJ needs to be taking on more cap overall, so that the move helps FLR instead of further handicapping them. You turned 2 roster players into 1 here. Need to also consider what adding Karlsson at 9.5m (they probably need him for cheaper) does for Florida's long-term cap structure.
