The MLE is only for teams operating above the salary cap, but below the tax payer threshold. If they renounced Asik they'd drop below the salary cap, but only about 5-6 mil below, which would be stupid because that is the same amount that the MLE is.

ETA: this is the main reason why people want to keep Asik. If they get rid of Asik (by renouncing his rights), the Pels won't have enough cap space to sign a center that is better than him. Ideally I'd like to re-sign him on a 1 year deal, but I'm not sure if he'd be down with that.

So could we sign someone else, get over the salary cap, and then have the MLE to spend or does the MLE only apply to the cap before free agency starts?
