The timing is perfect for the Avalanche to pull a cap circumvention move as his timeline will be back for the start of the playoffs. That gives the Avs a bunch of cap space at the deadline. The NHL has to stop this going forward or all the high end teams are going to be pulling these shenanigans and having an unfair advantage in the playoffs.
