This is why people hate on Hab fans...

You'll have to pay someone to take on your cap dumps nobody is going to pay you to take them on.

Hope you don't say that for Edmundson. And in case you didn't know Mantha is currently classified as cap dump. Washington is currently looking to move him out by someone taking is contract OR buying him out.

But as it's the last year's of Edmundson when traded, he will be with 50% retain salary to maximize is value.


But let's pretend that Edmundson is an cap dump.
Edmundson = 3.5m // Mantha = 5.7m Washington save over 2.2m and cap space in this era is gold.

Look at the trade happen today with Flyer, King and Blue Jackets. To be able to shred Petersen contract king have accepted to take 30% of Provorov giving them enough to resign Gavrikov.

In my opinion when Edmundson would be trade, he will be at 50% retain and for 1.750m for one year an defensemen like him could be pretty interesting even with is injury history.

So if we retake the trade here but with retention: Edmundson 50% retain for Mantha + (asset) would save around 3.950m to Washington

That 4m cap space to do alot of thing as they only having 7.3m projected cap space for this summer and have around 4 to 5 roster spot to fill (3 forward / 2 Defense ) except if they have prospect ready to take an spot which would cost not much

Cap dump is only benefit if this. Caps get older and slower, both things they are NOT doing this summer.
