Yeah, I don't care about the salary, even if he is overpaid for what he does. The Oilers could possibly send him to the AHL, but that seems unlikely, so the concern for the team up north is how having him on the team hinders their ability to play anyone who might be better.
Sort of like our situation with Westgarth, even though the two players themselves aren't really directly comparable.
