LTIR player traded with Retained

Asked Aug 1, 2022 by Wyatt D

How does retention work on a player who will spend all season on LTIR ? For example, if the MTL player Carey Price cannot come back and play anymore and MTL traded Price's contract to TOR.....can MTL retain 50% on that LTIR contract ? And if MTL can.....how does that affect the cap going into the following season ? Does his retention cap hit provide relief if MTL is over the cap at the start of the season ?
