ESPN.com headline: Lockout Follies. Geez, Manute got bigger play!
Another reason to count Lukowich or other NHLers at a higher cap number -- for the team's own good. Obviously the benefits of this arrangement far outweigh the drawbacks, but if Lukowich takes up a vet spot and is the number one defenseman making $300 a week, how do you replace him if the lockout ends? At least if he counts for five or six hundred bucks you have the money to pick up a decent player. Perhaps in the Brahmas case that's where Tilson fits into the picture.
