<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>If the Detroit trade is mostly for the cap space, then what that space is used for becomes much more important. This ACGM doesn't use the immediate cap space that it opens. Why wait for Husso's contract to come off the books to use that space? The Pens are too old to be able to play the long game.
However, that conflicts with the McGroarty/Yager swap. Yager might be NHL ready, but McGroarty probably is, making this trade a win-now move. So the two big moves being made here have conflicting goals unless the Pens use the cap space from the Wings trade to make more significant improvements to the roster.</div></div>

The cap savings is some this year but mostly next year. If Jarry is viewed by management as the back up and Smith didn't fit, then getting the comparable but slightly lesser goalie and winger is a fair and wise move for Pittsburgh. All players need a change so no, the two trades do not conflict at all.
