Is he paid NHL wage? Bones said he had made the team and was inured playing for the Jets, so I'd assume so, no?

If he is not playing for the Jets, he will not make NHL money. He is still on the final year of his ELC, so he will be making $70k in the AHL.

EDIT: He was possibly making his NHL ELC salary while injured, though.

I believe he was getting a combo of AHL and NHL salaries.

Capfriendly says he has made over $108,000.00 this season so he wasn't getting AHL money so far.

Apparently their is a provision for TC injuries for non guaranteed roster players.
Yeah, looks like he was making $225k.

I think he gets "screwed" because he was injured before the season started (didn't make the opening day roster). Had he gotten injured after making the team, sent down for conditioning, je makes his NHL salary. Could be totally wrong, though. 😆

I'm not sure, but if they worded his demotion to the moose as a "conditioning assignment", could he get paid NHL dough for 2 more weeks?

I think normally, yes, but not for him since he was hurt before the season. I'm guessing here, though.

SOIR (Season Opening Injury Reserve) for guys on 2 way contracts has its own formula for cap hit and salary implications. Without wadding too deep into it, it appears to be some sort of hybrid of the AHL and NHL salaries.
I think it is something like a ratio of games played in each league last season.
For example if he played 15% of the NHL games and 85% of his AHL games, then it is 15% of his NHL salary plus 85% of his AHL salary. I could be wrong.

Unfortunate for him. Him being Heinola.

Him being Heinola as he was trending in September might be a nice addition to a powerplay currently so anaemic that our lads are wearing themselves out 5v5 to counter it.

Here's hoping he gets back to the point where he can platoon in as needed as the POs get nearer.

Agreed - I would think that is what they hope they can get back to -
Bones has stated many times that he wants his 7th dman to be in and out of the lineup to keep them engaged and ready to step in full time if needed.
I can see that happening as soon as Ville is up to speed - and from there, the 6th spot will be open to the player that plays their way into that slot.

Ville's challenge will be working hard on the Moose and keeping his eye on the prize - I want to see what he can do in reg season minutes ASAP.
