This was my problem with CHI signing both Perry and Foligno to $4M deals........you can only retain 50% so the cap hit is still high limiting your options to contending teams. This move would leave BOS with very little cap space to address other issues if they arise. Perry and Foligno aren't difference makers anymore, so for a cup contending team to use up that much available cap to acquire them, I feel it would be a mistake. CHI probably could have gotten both for half the cost.
