2) Hope that player has a resurgence BUT also gets injured again and misses most of the season
3) Leverage injury history and performance to sign him as a pending UFA to a hugely discounted contract for 1-year.
4) Have him have an actual resurgence and not get injured.
5) Use his ridiculously low cap hit to garner a higher return at the deadline.
Conroy, there's your playbook, get on it!

They only need to do #1, which is the way to use cap space when you don’t have a competitive team. #2-5 is just luck.
