I think he's fine in the room. He is a very well liked guy - you could tell in the local skills comp. But organizationally they then could free up a playing spot, and not give him the embarrassing $4.5 million AHL assignment - they'd be giving him a chance to make a different team.
And cap space will depend on who they target in the of season, whether the rumours about Backlund's ask are true or if he wants more, Janko's contract.
