In total it saves the team $500k in real money for minimal cap penalty.

It also simplifies matters for next year's AHL goaltending giving Parsons and Schneider the 1A !B slots instead of a potential 3 headed monster.
That is pretty damn interesting. And tightens the screws on young Gillies just a tad.

So when is Parsons coming back?
