I think the rule is 50% is max. So if 1 team retains 50%, another team can't help. If team a retained 20%, team b can do up to 30%
Nah, you can do 75% through 50 and 50.
Happened with Savard to Tampa through Detroit couple years back
Quote
Columbus initially traded Savard to the Red Wings for Brian Lashoff and retained 50% of Savard’s remaining salary.
The Red Wings then sent Savard to Tampa Bay for a fourth-round pick and retained 50 % of his remaining salary from the original move with Columbus.
Tampa Bay then sent the two draft picks to Columbus for Lashoff.
All of that maneuvering means Tampa Bay is getting Savard at just 25% of his salary cap hit for the remainder of the season. Given how close they are to the salary cap, that is very important.
