They can because their regular roster is well below their authorised salary cap of 81.2M - has nothing to do with LTIR cap space. CapFriendly shows their cap hit today at 84M. They have 7.9M worth of players on LTIR. It means that their regular roster is at some 76M when they can operate at 81.2M. Vancouver doesn't get the full 81.5M because they weren't able to maximise their LTIR relief and lost 300K from the get go - ie their roster (outside of LTIR contracts) can never be more than 81.2M.

Kucherov had a torn labrum in his hip. It's an injury/surgery that quite a few players have had. The recovery time is listed at 5 to 6 months. That same season Pastrnak took 4.5 months after being announced at 5 months, Seguin took 6 months. Tampa was aided that it was a shortened season. Tampa didn't even expect him back that early.

Colorado pulling a Tampa - Landeskog out “indefinitely”
mll replied to grandmaster's topic in General Hockey Discussion
The thing is that teams are significantly better off if they can avoid LTIR. Vegas that bubble season deliberately started the season a few millions under the cap because they wanted to bank as much cap space as possible - it allowed them to add some 12M in contracts at the TDL per Granger and that was with salary retention so in true value significantly more. Can't bank cap space in LTIR. If you go to CapFriendly you can easily see that teams in LTIR are losing cap space - Vancouver is now losing over 5M in daily cap space each day because they are in LTIR and can't bank it. Their end of season cap space is zero which is the reason why they'll have a bonus overage. They also weren't able to maximise their relief and are forced to operate with a maximum cap hit of 81.2M instead of 81.5M. -

Just like Vancouver did the bubble season. It was the only way they could afford Toffoli. Everyone was then back healthy for the bubble save for Leivo - even Ferland returned. -

Landeskog is not on LTIR but on IR. This whole thread is based off a false claim. -

Not just a winning streak - teams ahead need to lose games too otherwise there would be no change to the standings.
