I understand what you are saying, but Kaut is on the same timeline as the players he would have to be bumping. It would be different he he was replacing a veteran but that is not the case. It creates a log jam, especially because none of those guys are bottom 6 player . Kaut will need a 2nd contract when everyone else does. There is no advantage there
I think we could call it a log-jam or creating depth from which to make other deals from. For example, perhaps Kaut continue to develop and Gorton decides to trade Buchnevich. Or they decide they want to use Chytil as a piece to bring in another type of player at another position.
