The challenge with that is you can hide bad cap players in that group. Who decides whether you are hiding cap or you genuinely demoted a player?
Let's say Pelletier has a good camp. The Flames could have him 'make the team' and have Lucic be demoted to the taxi squad. Suddenly the cap isn't a problem any more.
