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.
They'll get 7m in cap space this summer regardless
