I disagree, it certainly does accomplish something, it eliminates an anchor on the roster and allows a younger, cheaper, hungrier and all-around better player to acquire his spot on the roster.
Today the money doesnt matter and the cap doesnt matter but his occupying a spot and not pulling his weight while someone else languishes in the minors does matter.
I like the move, and I sincerely doubt its a matter of Brad Treliving not trying to move him, we all know how much Brad loves manning the phones, its like his favourite hobby.
