Cap problems as an excuse are a realistic argument.
This team needs RHD but they need a top pairing or at least top 4 RHD.
Using cap on another 6-7 guy won't help.
Canucks have routinely dressed 4 RHD in the lineup so they have plenty of these guys.
Having cap available if there is a move to be made is better right now than nickel and diming on waiver fodder types.
