I said they impact our cap situation. I'll re-post it for youHow do Bolland, Bernier or Clarkson impact how Liles is considered overpaid and how best to dispose of him, and by which type of buyout should have been used discussion?.
Those players don't even play the same position of defense. Liles is still a contract mistake and redundant depth player regardless of what the forwards or goalie cap situation is.
Nonis got 3 Dmen Ranger ($1 mil), Franson ($2 mil) and Fraser ($1.2 mil) all signed for just a little more than Liles makes, and all expected to play ahead of JML.
How's the cap situation without Bolland, Bernier and Clarkson? Nonis had options and chose to put himself in this situation. Some don't feel it's all that bad, some do.
If we're not in a cap crunch, Liles isn't a huge problem. The cap crunch came from Nonis's other moves.
How he's handled the 3 buyouts is being questioned now, it'll be interesting to see if/how he gets out of it.
