I give the people involve the benefit of the doubt absent proof that something fishy is actually happening.

Oh, I have no doubt that it is "real". But you'll pardon me if I think it only now (now that the 1M "cheater" years are kicking in) becoming something unmanageable is just way way way to coincidental for something unfishy to be happening. It's cap circumvention plain and simple.
It's probably "real" in the sense that he has a skin condition but it's probably also something that's manageable and they're only now using this as a convenient excuse to dodge the cap recapture. It's de facto cheating and they shouldn't (but probably will) get away with it. Just watch... Chicago is probably going to trade him away at the draft (Probably to Arizona ala Datsyuk) and get out of even having to deal with the headache of the opening day cap limit.
