Bartkowski did have a, slight, two-way contract. 650K in the NHL and 400K in the AHL.
Wotherspoon had 650K in the NHL and 160K in the AHL. So a savings of 240K by having Wotherspoon in the minors over Bartkowski. Whether that was entirely for the money we can't know for sure. But I believe that, as you suggested, had the contracts been reversed, it's very possible that so would the situations for the players. $250,000 is not chump change - not even to an NHL team.
