Just a paper transaction, I think.

Pierre and Eugene got a lot of hate on here for doing this exact same thing over the years btw. Just saying...

It's a cap move. Saving $$ on the cap. Sens need to save every $$ they can against the cap.

Sucks for the guys, lose a couple thousand a day

Did they do it because they were up against the cap or because they were being cheap pricks?

There's nothing to suggest Staios is doing it for any other reason than to maximize our ability to win.

They've been papering Gaudette down on days off.
Trickling these small amounts into the cap space could pay off when you don't have much.

Depth moves have been discussed and could be needed and the amount accumulated may be the difference

I am no capologist and please dyodd on the math

That's because they were cheap in every area, not just making the odd savvy cap/financial play.

Right now, IIRC, we will have room to add a $4 million AAV player at the deadline. Keep working the cap and we can keep increasing that a bit. Every dollar is going to matter if we are going to be buyers in any fashion at the deadline...

Guess you were right as neither of them are playing for Belleville tonight.
