I think there is some spice to the Florida trade, for sure. Jarry only has a couple of years left on his deal, so he could make a nice tandem to ease Knight into the NHL without causing headache after Knight's ELC runs out.
The Panthers save 1,5M a season during the first two years and 5M for three years after that. That's valuable for a team trying to contend. The other option, buyout, would mean a yearly penalty of 6,75M in dead cap until 2026 and 1,67M for every year that gets bought out. Thats a tough pill to swallow.
The Panthers would probably prefer the 2023 1st rounder to be switched to a prospect they do not see a future with or a later 1st rounder as the -23 draft is looking pretty strong, and they have already traded away their 2022 1st rounder
