Spending the money if Pietrangelo doesn’t sign with the Leafs

When it comes to a free agent signing, there are many positives when it comes to adding value to the team. In a hard cap league, when money comes in, it must come out. As a result, if the Leafs are able to sign Alex Pietrangelo to a contract, the cost to acquiring his services is free. While at the same time, the cost to remove salary in trades brings back value in a different form (prospects, picks, etc). Do the math and the overall value of the team goes up with every free agent signing (if you do everything right).
