Can a team trade retained salary to open up room to take on more retained salary?

I don't think so. You're on the hook for what you agreed to with the original trade.

Thanks, there goes that idea.

When will all the trades happen?

No.

BUT, there is nothing in the rules that says a third party can't be involved. For example, Flyers trade Streit and two 3rds to TOR. TOR trades Steit with 50% retained to DALLAS for a 1st which goes to the Flyers.

Just an example, but you get the point.

After seeing the Oilers trade the rights to Phillip Larsen, I wonder if Hextall could flip the rights to Erik Gustafsson for a late round pick.

I remember last summer Gustafsson said he would like to return to the NHL and seeing a team being willing to give up a pick for a similar guy in Larsen makes me think. The Flyers seem to have no interest in bringing him back, and Gustafsson had a decent KHL season, and his numbers look solid playing in the Swiss A-league.

Also, I've been tossing and turning all night and gave up on sleeping, so I figured I'd toss this out here.

Toss on. How late of a pick do you think he could bring back?

Edit: Would a 5th, the same as Larsen, be enough for you?

Sure. If the Flyers have no interest in bringing him back, take whatever for him

I'd be happy for any return on a fringe guy that will likely never suit up for us again.

If he was in their plans, I'd welcome him back. I was just thinking after the Larsen trade, if he's not in their plans, why not see if anyone is interested. He's said he'd like to come back to the NHL.
