As opposed to paying him $5m per year to play in Bakersfield.

I think they will as well, but that cap hit in the years they need to sign Leon, Bouchard and Mcdavid is going to be costly.
Also, if Skinner is the problem do, they just go out and get at minimum a split time goalie to play with him? How much will that cost? $3 mil? Basically, eats up the cap savings and it's very likely they don't get anyone that good with $3 mil.
They also could explore trading an asset with Ceci to get rid of him, but he only makes $3.25 mil and they are very short on assets.
Campbell in the AHL saves them $1.2 mil as well.
