That might be a wise idea actually, he came back from Russia and is currently one of the best defencemen in the league, taking some advice from him wouldnt exactly be foolhardy.

I think Jay's point is that every spot he drops down in the lineup increases the number of people who expect to be paid more than him, its called a salary structure, and if Ol' Pete needs a lesson my consulting hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-6, happy hour at the pub.
If Klefbom is a #5, then there are likely going to be 4 guys ahead of him expecting to be paid $4.16M+ regardless of their pedigree or accomplishments.
Assuming for the moment that those 4 guys are content to receive exactly what Klefbom gets then thats $16.64M locked up in your top 4 D plus Klefbom, so roughly $21M on 5 players.
Granted, thats a moving target, but what it does is set up road-blocks in the cap and salary structure. Road-blocks that may never have needed to be there.
