The thing I can't then square with this idea is the Sekera buyout.

It's definitely careless to think that 1.5M in years 3 and 4 won't matter much. I think that's the narrative Stauffer was pushing about a potential sek buyout. Expecting nice cap increases a couple years down the road after the US TV deal.
I think he really did strike out on Nyquist, and that's where that money was supposed to go. Looks dumb now, and we very well could go into this season with 4M of space.

There's nothing wrong with not being a capped out team, especially when you already know the team isn't going to be competitive. However, I agree that the '1.5M million won't matter as much in 5 years' theory is stupid. The Oilers have tried that before and been handcuffed by it.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
