True. I believe the only real out or exploitation of the salary cap in a situation like this is if they determine that when Elliott is no longer playing up to snuff, they declare that he is injured, thus put on the IR & his salary space is available once the season starts.
Being that goaltenders are prone to degenerating hips, I have read that this is why the Panthers could not be concerned about Luongo's cap hit or recapture.
He can't play because he sucks & he sucks because he is "injured".
However Burke would never go for this sort of shady shenanigans.
