This trade does not help the cap at all. We need someone to take Erne’s spot, and that someone is going to cost at least $700k. If Erne was demanding too much, the team would have refused to budge and he would have filed for arbitration (which he decided against). So considering he was being fairly agreeable given that, surely he doesn’t sign over $1m. We save up to $300k in cap space. I really don’t think the $300k is going to matter for Point. Maybe it helps with performance bonuses. But why wouldn’t we just move Rutta? He doesn’t fit anywhere anymore because of the number of RHDs we have, and has more of a cap hit than what we want for a scratch, but is a young and solid bottom-pairing defenseman on a reasonable cap hit for any team that will actually play him.
