Yeah, but now COL has to find a home for 2 extra d-men (none of whom are waiver exempt), lose $5.5 mil off the cap and deal with the possibility of Nichuskin and/or Landeskog returning (of course, COP may know for a fact neither is), and you've told your prospects "good luck in the minors all year".
Yes, OK is a cheap gamble with possible high return, but it looks to me like it screws up a lot of things.
Why make things difficult?Did they think DAL or NSH were going to swoop in?
It makes no sense for a guy who was on the path to a PTO.
