that's very convenient thinking, and you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe it's likely more something like this:
Knights: Hey Mark, you'll likely be ready to come back on Jan 1. But we were thinking:
Knights: How badly do you want to play the reg season, cause if you don't, we can extend that timeline until April 1. Get full cap relief all year, strengthen the team for another run at the cup and get you back ready to play for the games you really care about anyway? Thoughts.
Mark: Sounds good to me.
