It is a waste of a retention slot (since we only get 3) to use on Drouin or Dadanov for a 5th round pick.
The Habs would be better off being the middle man for another trade and getting a 3rd round pick instead.
For example: If Chicago were to trade Kane to Colorado and Chicago retained half of his cap to bring him down from $10M to $5M we could then also retain half again at $2.5M in exchage for a 3rd to make Kanes cap hit $2.5M for Colorado.
Getting a 3rd round pick is better use of that retention spot than a 5th round pick.
If you want to get rid of Drouin to make room for Richard than waive Drouin and after he passes though waivers send him down to Laval, and bring up Richard.
