It's not a cap issue. It's the precedent it would have set in cutting him. Plus he is a very valuable commodity, and if we keep him from playing against us, it's still a pyrrhic victory. Why let him go to Minnesota, for example, and get nothing for him because we cut him. We have his contract, so any other team has to come through us if they want him. Apparently no one did badly enough, because according MS his agent was given a free door to find a suitable trade partner up until he accepted that 21Million dollar check. Now suit up, or shut up. I would be just as happy to see him not play this year if he isn't wearing Burgundy and Gold.
