That's it exactly. When you have a player like Mackey waiting in the wings, who can play a bottom pairing role for pennies on the dollar comparatively, you are better served to try to add further scoring depth than play a player in a lesser role than they are suited.
If the team moved Kylington + for a forward, you have close to $5M in space to work with - this is a legitimate player and could make much more of an impact on the season than leaving things as they are currently constructed.
