Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

For what it's worth, I'd retain DeAngelo at 50% of his salary for a second round pick. But I'm just being consistent with my thoughts.

Not sure I follow, are you saying that you'd be willing to pay a 2nd rd pick for DeAngelo at 50%? Flyers are not paying the Hurricanes to take him at 50%.
 
Got it, but I don’t think Philly is interested in paying anyone to retain salary.
Bet you Carolina might be.

Philly gets: ??? A lower-level prospect from Montréal?
Carolina gets: Tony DeAngelo @ 50%
Montréal gets: Carolina 2nd rounder

I thought the trade was already DeAngelo at 50% for a lower-level prospect from Carolina??? What value is Montreal adding?
 
The CBA is preventing Philthydelphia from trading DeAngelo to Carolina with a salary retention:

Rule 50.5 of the NHL CBA protects against a team trading a player, having another team pick up a percentage of their salary, and then quickly reacquiring that player at a reduced cap cost. It states that "under no circumstances may a Club reacquire, as part of a Retained Salary Transaction, the contract of a player who was on that Club's Reserve List within the past calendar year."

So for the Flyers to be able to do the trade, they'd need to trade him to somewhere (like Montréal), they retain 50%, and they send him to Carolina. At least that's my understanding.

Unless Philthydelphia can hold on to 50% of the salary, trade him to Montréal, then Montréal trades him to Carolina?
