Obviously the cap space becomes much more significant, and that matters as much later in the season as it does to start it. It allows deals to be made longer out from the TD than waiting to accrue XX dollars everyday leading up to it.
2, it opens up a W spot for the youngsters to try and win. The left side is crowded as it is. Let Pelletier or one of the other guys win that spot in camp....and if none of them really do enough to do that....guess what? You have cap space to go shopping with on the market as teams that start people on LTIR start getting them back and are forced to make moves.

Flames have 2.7 in cap space right now. Add Ruzicka, it’ll probably be roughly 1.9 remaining with 13 forwards, 7 d men and 2 goalies. Prorated that’s about 9 million at the deadline. No problems at all adding a forward. Lucic still provides value even if he ends up being the 13th forward ( dressing room) on the roster. I wouldn’t move him unless the cap space is actually being used.
