Yeah, it sounds from the video, they’d just be interested in retaining, but that really makes no sense.
It does however, at least to me, to acquire the picks and player, but then I have no idea how the retention would work, with Vegas retaining or with another team doing it(but also wanting some compensation)? The Canes surely can’t be looking at taking on the full cap hit...
It makes sense if the Canes want to buy another 1st + 2nd round pick.
Vegas trades MAF to the Canes with a 1st + 2nd attached
Canes retain 50% and trade Fleury to PIT for a 5th round pick
Canes add a $3.5 million retention for 2 years at the cost of buying another 1st+.
Might even be possible that the Canes could swap MAF for another goalie like Murray or Kuemper (with assets added).
