Mirtle:

"Teams will be able to retain salary/cap hit in a trade. This will be a very complex and carefully worded portion of new CBA I'm sure."

Also:

"Can 100% confirm the new CBA will include the cap benefit recapture formula. It will apply to existing deals "in excess of six years"

I assume that means teams that signed the player will be stuck with the cap hit of long term back diving deals even if they players retire. So if Luongo is traded and then retires at 38 years old, Vancouver will have a $5.3M cap hit for another five years.
