Simple yes or no question: do you believe that the months-long delay until surgery (which was known to be required last summer), was entirely due to the medical process, and not at all delayed for cap management purposes?

The player did come out and say he was read to play months prior to the end of the regular season. There's little doubt that cap management played a big role in him returning just in time for the playoffs. The Oilers aren't the first team to do this but of late they seem to be the team that's been abusing it the most going back to Smith and Keith.
