And if there is relief, is he more desirable to a contender -- cap relief and a player?
Does anyone have a better understanding of how this works? Is it the case that if you trade for him today (assuming no appeal, etc.), you don't have to count him toward the cap ceiling until he's back? If i was a contender i'd take a longer look if, from a cap perspective, i don't "acquire" the player until a couple of weeks after the trade deadline.
