So Sekera saves the Oilers $3M, this year and next. Holland knows he can't get a comparable Dman in free agency to replace him for $3M (not even close), so the intention has to be that they will replace him internally with one of the many future Giordanos that they have.
The implication from that would be that they want to spend the money on a winger (which makes sense because they currently don't have a single one of them).
