Probably just figure that he's closer to relevant than the OT they had under the exemption last season. Don't remember his name, but they carried him on the PS all season last year and that's where that exemption becomes useful.
If they think Rees-Zammit may actually make the squad this year, use the protection on the OT because by all accounts last season, that guy was FAAAAAR away, but incredibly athletic/talented.
Probably just basic resource allocation - one slot, use it on the guy who's less likely to make the team but with a slightly higher ceiling, thus a far better candidate for the international exemption anyway (which wouldn't apply if Rees-Zammit is a roster player)
