I have no issue with the rule as it is written. I used skaters on LTIR as a means of cheap UFAs years ago as a way to improve my roster on a year-to-year basis. I like the buy-out provision as it encourages GMs to think before offering a 1-way bid. In the cases like Steen, GMs have the choice to buyout or keep on the roster with a low rating. More choices make the game more fun/challenging.
