Okay, let me be really clear because apparently this is difficult to grasp for some people.
If you are swapping a player on your NHL roster for a guy on your AHL roster, and both players make more than 1.075M, the exchange has
no impact whatsoever on your cap situation. It does not matter that one player makes more than the other.
Because both players make over 1.075M, if they were to call up Baertschi and send down Schaller, the total cap space of the Canucks would be
exactly the same as it is now.

2) You’re clearly not watching him play, when you suggest defensive winger.

I didn't. I suggested 3rd line scoring winger, which is pretty much what he is, and that the Canucks have room for one of those because their third line is more of a scoring line than a checking line. All in all, they'd be better with him in the lineup than Schaller. Not that it's the difference between them being the mediocre team they are and actually being good, mind you.
