For the same reason we paid Sulzer NHL money to play in the AHL last season ... it was a better option than wasting the cap hit and roster spot on a player who simply wasn't going to play. It does no good to pay him his NHL salary and have that money count against the cap while he wastes a spot on the club's active roster.
