The contracts of Whitney, Cullen, Walker, and Yelle will expire after this season. One or more of those veterans won't be back for 2010-2011, but Bayda isn't likely to get one of their slots.

Maybe it came down to money, or that he realized that no one would offer him an NHL only deal. Either way, his leaving gave the team a chance to sign Yelle, adding much needed depth at the center position.
