Why do they have to fill the roster with another player?Plus they traded two players for one, so you can add another million or so to cover the other roster hole they have to fill.
This was not a money saving deal for the sens. But, still, some will try to spin it that way.
Dorion either believes: (1) he's buying low on dzinger and can resign him; (2) this is a tradable asset for the deadline; or (3) he needs to improve the team to avoid further embarassment this season.
And dead money of 2 players not playing vs 1 that will play is a good move no?
