The decision for Lowry is prior to the S&T. You have to agree with Lowry on a contract before you can S&T with Toronto. You can make the argument that you are not trading KP for air unless you land a big free agent (like Lowry). Maybe you can even make the argument that you are willing to spend a little more on Lowry if you can dump KP (that would depend on a prior conversation with Toronto). But they really are two separate events. Signing UFA Lowry (who we can sign with cap space assuming we dump JRich if necessary), and sending KP back with no other return.
