Should rephrase this - wouldn’t need to move a big salary. They would obviously need some space but 1) LTIR for Hakanpaa, 2) tacking on some easy to move deals going back (Pacioretty, Holmberg, Reaves, Robertson) and 3) moving out some small hit shitty players like Kampf or Benoit would be plenty for now even if Nash only eats a bit instead of half.Don’t think the Leafs need to move salary if the Preds eat half.
In short, it’s doable if there’s willingness from the player and team to actually make a move. And the same goes for any other option that might be available but there aren’t many teams looking to trade a true 1D.
