I don't think that helps as much as taking back a similar money contract off their hands or one with an extra year of term. Do that and you can get something of value.
This move has more value at the deadline when a team can now add two guys like Tafolli and Lindholm with their cap space as opposed to one right now. Whether it's 2 million or 5 million...cap space is really tight for a lot of teams.
