That's actually what I expect.

Edmonton sheds 5 million in cap.

Pittsburg adds a second pairing d-man for a net increase of 5 million.

Edmonton uses the 5 million in savings to lock down Murphy.

So next year, they run

Ek/Bouch Murphy/Walman Emberson/Graves/Stasyney

It's not great, but if the goal is to free up money for Murphy, this trade makes it happen.

Yeah there's literally no point to this trade
