Eklund: LTIR Money On the Rise Could Mean Trades. Who Has The Most LTIR?

Weak article! Who agrees?

You were only worried about your job after the salary cap eh?


When the Sens put Josh Norris on LTIR (as they're expected to do) I guess this article will be updated?

LTIR is not a loophole but no surprise that Ek has no clue how the salary cap works.

If a team can sustain placing a player on LTIR until the postseason instead of bringing him back, then they deserve to "circumvent" the cap until the postseason.

You realize teams still need this space when their guys come back right? So they can’t just go out and spend that cap.

Also, yeah, they have a bunch of LTIR space, but they can't actually eat into Pacioretty's since they expect him back around December/January.

So it's there if they're desperate for it but it's not all that useful as it currently stands.

Carolina has $8.6 million in LTIR space!

Yeah but they can only actually use another 1.4 million of that or they're (frank)ed.

I am very skeptical of his return this season.

Use all that injury reserve space loophole money

It’s long term injury relief. Not reserve.

We'll see I guess. If he's actually toast then they have a lot of room (and a lot of draft picks) to play with at the deadline.

If they are comfortably in a playoff spot in January, I'd shelf him until the postseason. CAR is probably good enough to pull this off.

Based on your success rate you should be out of a job. 🤣
