Sure it's tough for teams to have to deal with dead cap, especially Tampa who's being hammered with like $15 million, but I think "fixing" guys' ratings adds a lot of volatility to the process that shouldn't be there. With the randomness of the defense ratings who's gonna say a guy like DeKeyser will be a 69 with absolute certainty when guys like Murphy and Borowiecki are 72-73? And other guys like Larsson and Hjalmarsson are 66?

And with Byfuglien, whose situation is way up in the air with his injuries... who's to say that he shouldn't be a 50 at this point?

I think we just have to live with it.
