The Red Wings are also doing this with Jimmy Howard, since Legace is hurt, Howard is dressing to back up Osgood and then being sent back to Grand Rapids to actually play.

Even if players do not have 2-ways?kdb209 said:Circumvention of contract terms and violation of spirit and intent of the CBA.
Just think what would happen, if say these players weren't fring players, but young stars with few enough games played to be exempt from waivers. Theoretically Pittsburgh could do the same with Crosby (and Washington AO). The result would be they could play all 82 games and only receive 42% of agreed upon salary - regular season (Oct 5 - Apr 17) is 195 days.
