  1. Why can we not place Ferland on LTIR right now? He basically confirmed he will never play again but he will be on IR till the start of the season? That extra 3.5mill would be great on cap savings

      All guys on LTI, like Ferland and quite a few others, count on the cap until the first game of the season.  Aren’t Hossa and Pronger still in that group?  

      Anyway, that’s why teams can go over the cap by 10% in the off season.

      I thought players that are on LTIR don’t count against the cap so teams can go over the cap but if he’s just on IR we have to be cap compliant to start the season then place him on LTIR to get cap relief? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding the rules

      LTIR means a team can go over the cap by the players amount, but they still count against the cap. Also, I may be wrong on this one, but I believe the team must be below the cap going into day 1 of the season, and then start the players on LTIR after the season starts. This can often explain the "paper transactions" where a number of players are assigned to the AHL right before day 1, but never actually go. Then approved players are moved to LTIR and the other players are re-assigned to the NHL squad.
