I don't like it because cap flexibility is a huge asset. Far bigger that what Richardson or Gudbrandson bring.
Pissing that away on guys that either at BEST keep you the same or will make you worse on the ice is just dumb as nails.
That 3M wiggle room does help with making transactions at the deadline easier, and chances are we will need to make some.
It's just senseless and may hurt your ability to make bigger moves that affect the teams future later on.
Making these signings with 10M in cap space is one thing, at 2-3M it becomes very unnecessary.
