I always thought it was just salary they could share but the new team takes 100% of the cap hit.

EDIT:
http://www.capgeek.com/new-cba/Scroll to the bottom, looks like both salary and cap-hit can be retained.

So it seems like Minnesota will be taking Pominville's entire salary for next year (5.5M) but only 85% of his cap hit: 5.3 x 0.85 = $4 505 000
Based on your quotes saying the teams will pick up just the cap, doesn't say anything about salary. I'm guessing it would have specified as salary and cap hit are often different.
Lol I must have been tired. My quote even says cap, yet I read salary. Oh boy...
Btw, I also read that Minnesota could not have picked him up had Buffalo not retained some cap hit
