He might have a NMC. They'd get some cap relief depending on who replaces him, every little bit helps but really it's about getting Scuderi away from the coaches and getting a better player on the roster.
If he can be buried, I'd bury him this season and buy him out next season. The Pens would never disrespect such a veteran player, though... it's also questionable if they think he as bad as we do.
He's got a roster that fits under the cap and is ready to compete on opening night. I'm sure he would like to cut some fat, specifically Scuderi and Kunitz, but he's not under any extreme pressure to do so. If they aren't moved, they can still be useful to this team in a limited role.
