the salary cap is calculated daily?
So by not calling up players until they have a game the Wild are accruing cap space that could be used later in the season?

No.Can Coyle's salary cap number be 'banked' because he's on LTIR?
No.
You can exceed the cap by the amount of his AAV while he's on LTIR, but that space doesn't get banked in the same way. A team with 2 mil in actual cap space can get an 8million AAV player at the deadline, but a team with a 2 mil LTIR exception can only acquire a 2 million dollar cap hit.
This was an underreported factor into the Seguin trade, the Savard deal was ****ing with their entire cap sheet; and the kid was the least proven high dollar contract they had.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. If a $6M AAV player is on LTIR for half the season, the team may exceed the cap by up to $6M for as long as that player remains on LTIR. The amount over the cap the team may go depends on how close they were to the cap before using the long term injury exemption. If a team had $3M in cap space when using their injury exemption on a $6M player, they'd only be able to exceed the cap by $3M. However, if they were at the cap when they used the injury exemption, they'd be able to exceed it by the whole $6M. Also note that a team may only exceed the cap due to the replaced player for as long as that player remains on LTIR. Once he comes back, they have to shed any excess space.If a 6M AAV player is on LTIR for half the season the team doesn't get 3M in cap space to use when it chooses to?

Now, if you're asking if a team that's nowhere near the cap can use a long term injury exemption on a $6M player that's injured for the first half of the season to get a free $3M in cap space to use whenever they please, no absolutely not.
Yes, because the player only has a remaining cap hit of $4M, and they have the cap space. LTIR involves teams going over the cap. Only actual space under the upper limit can be banked.ok but some cap space can be banked right? if a team has gone halfway through the season $4M under the cap they could make a deal for an $8M player.

so dumb to me that a team with a rash of injuries should have to worry about AHL call-ups affecting their cap - injury callups of minor leaguers should be exempt.
