Arizona saves 2.4 m in cap space, moves money. Arizona gets out from under Schmaltz’s 5.8m deal for six years and takes on two years of Ristolainen ( maybe one with the expansion draft) while also acquiring a draft pick potentially giving them flexibility if they move OEL. Buffalo acquires another versatile forward and a goaltender they desperately but it can only happen if AZ retains on his last year for cap reasons.
