Yup. But if we fall out of contention, that cushion will help if we want to move some $ players at the deadline.
[quote]Also, Setoguchi has one of the lowest cap hits on the team, so he won't be kept around just to reach the floor. He might be kept around because it's better to have him as the 13th forward who sees limited action than one of the young guys who need the playing time.[/i]
Agreed, but since McGrattan and/or Bollig can be the 13th forward without issue, buh-bye.

The two players who have been talked about the most with regards to being kept around just to hit the floor are Jones and Wideman, and so far, they're both playing very well. They may not be earning the full value of their contracts, but they're also not dragging the whole team down.

Plus, Jones keeps getting hurt, which keeps a roster spot warm.
