I am still baffled by Vancouver's decision to let him walk. Yes, they are up against the wall with the cap. However, even ignoring Ferland's likelihood of LTIR, let's just look at Baertchi.
He will make $3.666M this year. If they send him down, they save $1.075M in cap. Then they pay Leivo $0.875M. They have improved the team and saved $200K at the same time.
Absolutely baffling.
