I know that it's an indirect asset, but an asset nonetheless. With that cap space you can go out and sign a guy like Filpulla or Bozak or Stalberg or any of the other 2nd line calibre players out there and have space left over. That enables you to get additional assets even though it's not directly related.

agreed. Though it remains to be seen how good the UFA class will really be ... I still hope they go after Filppula if he goes to UFA, but history indicates that most of the desirable upcoming UFAs will sign an extension before that.
