to Detoit Red Wings
Andre Burakovsky (2y @ $5.50m)
total cap = $5.50m
cap result = DET opens up $2.65m
to Seattle Kraken
Ben Chiarot (1y @ $4.75m)
Justin Holl (1y @ $3.40m)
total cap = $8.15m
cap result = SEA adds $2.65m
Seattle gets out of Burakovsky's 2nd year and opens up a winger spot for Kartye in the top 9. They add Chiarot as a 1 year stop-gap veteran D to play with Ryker Evans, and add 1 year of Holl to compete with Cale Fleury for the 7D roster spot. They take on cap space in this upcoming year, but open up $5.5m cap for the year after that.
Detroit finally moves on from Holl, and adds a top 9 winger who could potentially get back into form with a different team and coach. Their D core as a whole has been unsatisfactory for some time, and neither Chiarot nor Holl were likely to be staying beyond next summer anyways. Chiarot was long-term going to be replaced by a RHD, and they now have cap space and a roster opening to explore that. The potential downside here is Burakovsky not improving and Detroit having his contract for an additional year beyond the upcoming season.
