I can't see ownership happy with him staying on the 4L this year for that money.

No it isn't. They brought him in to solidify the right side. They had basically nothing, so they acquired him, Chiasson and Pribyl. Unfortunately, none of them really worked out, but at least they tried.
How much he gets paid is what it is, it is a sunk cost. Just because a player is making $4M doesn't mean you just give him a spot that he doesn't deserve. Gulutzan is paid to win games, not to hand out ice-time based on salary.
