Just go with my silly thought. Let's say a team wants to sign a premier free agent Stamkos for 10m. And he wants to go that team. In order to make the deal they have to jettison a big contract, and they have Dmen prospects that are NHL ready and cheap. So the dump the big contract Subban for 2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks cause the few teams that can afford Subban., without giving money back to Montreal..this is the best deal Montreal could get.
I'll be told it's a silly deal cause Subban is worth more....but the trade is really Subban for Stamkos and 3 draft picks.
This type of deal might be only way to free up cap space.
