  1. Ferland to Edmonton makes sense for both sides in my estimation. Does either team say no?

      how does a LTIR player with no chance of ever returning help with the cap? oh right, it doesnt. GGZ Gottem boiz

      you really don't know what you are talking about with LTIR contracts. IF LTIR contracts created cap space to create a playing roster over the 82.5 limit they would be the most lucrative contracts in the league, however they do not do not allow that. when  a player is placed on LTIR a thing called ASCL is calculated. ASCL stands for accruable cap space limit. a team can not go over the ASCL. think of the ASCL as the new cap limit, and it can't ever be higher than 82.5 million, only lower.

       

      you could have 10 billion dollars of cap space but your roster of "playing" players would never exceed 82.5 million in the regular season because of the ASCL.

       

      Tampa Bay never had a playing roster worth over the upper cap limit in the regular season when Kucherov was injured. it was only during the playoffs that could they exceed it because there is no upper cap limit in the playoffs.

       

      so knowing this, Ferland will not return to the nhl in the playoffs. Ferland  will not help edmonton or any other team with thier cap, never.

      there is a scenario where a team could stack up on injured players that wont return until the playoffs start but its very risky. if the player or player's is/are deemed healthy before the playoffs start they might be forced into losing some player's for nothing or even paying draft picks to get rid of them. if they are over the cap after the trade deadline they will be forced to waive players until they are under the cap and they likely must be claimed. so likely the player or players they waive will be one's they don't want to lose, becuase teams won't willingly take on garbage contracts for free
