Why would either team do this?

TOR won't retain that for two years when they're trying to win a cup.

Colorado probably can't afford to send Johansen away when Landeskog is still on LTIR, Lehkonen is on LTIR and now Nichushkin is in NHLPA player program.

They need forwards.

If the Hawks have an extra retention spot remaining at the TDL then sure why not.

Ryjo is signed through next season. So if the Hawks do this, that leaves them only one retention slot for next season. I don't think they do it.

I figured a 4th for this year and a 3rd + 4th for next year.

If Tor wants to move on from Tavares, ship him over. When your enemy is making mistakes, don't interrupt him.

Better to retain 5.5MM than have 11MM on the books if they don't want the guy.

Tavares would be a perfect center for that line.

It also shows Guentzel and Crosby that the team is going for it.

Most Col fans I see or talk to (and some media outlets) want him gone. They believe he is replaceable at the TDL and internally and for 4MM in cap space, they would toss him.
