Trying to break that last trade into smaller steps.
First of all, buyouts are not limited to 3, retentions are. Secondly, cap wise Flyers doesn't have to buyout any contract.
Thirdly, you're thinking that because they "can't" buyout some contract, it would make sense to acquire more expensive and longer contract (simply put, a lot worse contract). And all that for a position where they already have more than enough players.
And lastly, Flyers would also be giving away the highest draft pick in this.
Did I get these steps in this "realistic" trade correctly?
