So is the DET deal about freeing up cap space for the TOR?

Wings pass, we aren't trading nam and kerfoot you can keep, the difference of toronto 1st and det 2nd isn't alot and we absolutely 100% wouldn't retain on nam. This is a total pass

Nashville passes for the retention that needs to be a 1st and you can swap Vesey for someone who has actual value

So Kerfoot at $3,500,000 for 2 more years after this one, Namestnikov $2,000,000 for 1 more year after this season. And yet Detroit retains $1,000,000 on Namestnikov while taking on the more expensive Kerfoot contract. Toronto is already $1,500,000 ahead so noway in the world is Detroit retaining on Namestnikov who's the better player.
