I would be all for 1 slot just for this purpose.. Hold outs, retired or suspended only.

If Oakland is smart (I know that's saying a lot), they'd void his signing bonuses for conduct detrimental to the team, and then cut his sorry a$$. Shockingly it's looking like they may actually play this smart! Frankly I hope they do.
FWIW, I was trying to laugh at the situation, not looking for any outs on my end. I'll suck it up and deal with things as they go. I knew going in with AB that it could devolve into a mess but took the risk. I didn't anticipate the Gordon holdout when I traded for him. Big mistake on my end (and props to Chuck for thinking ahead avoiding the repeat nightmare). All that said, it is what it is. The Preds will keep fighting to get some wins and be the best we can be under the circumstances. Even without them, I still think we'll be competitive most weeks. We won't be nearly the contender I envisioned with them in the lineup, but don't anticipate a repeat of last years horrible season.
Oh well, we'll just enjoy the underdog role for a bit and see what we can do with it!
As for 1 slot for holdouts/suspensions, certainly something we could discuss for future years.
