It's the smart thing to do. They have 2 players that teams would want but probably don't like the $'s awarded to those players. If doing a real scorched rebuild they can take back crap players with 2-3 years left at term but overpaid. They are going to need players to play while sitting in the bottom of the league for a couple of years. Might as well be the crap players that other teams don't want so they can get better value for Kessel and Dion. If they were trying to compete next year there is no chance they could have gotten good value for those 2 players.
