-San Jose can buy out Gallagher and Hoffman for 19.67M.
-As of 23-24 Karlsson is owed 46 million.
-That is a net cap gain of over 26 million.
-Additionally, the structure of the buyouts give San Jose more flexibility in the short term since Gallagher's buyout costs almost nothing in the first two seasons (792k, -208k).
-They are trading for the cap. As we have seen with cap dump trades, the value of the cap is so high that teams rarely get assets. A 2nd in this case is probably even too much.
-Karlsson is having a strong start to his season, but is turning 33, has a sordid injury history, and has 4 years of term left. Montreal gets the better player, but they compensate San Jose by taking on an incredibly amount of cap liability.
-Karlsson would waive for Montreal. Neither team are a contender, but one team is 1-2 hours away from Ottawa. Erik Karlsson and his family still choose to live in Ottawa.
-We will assume that San Jose isn't one of the 6 teams on Gallagher's no-trade list.
