LTIR shenanigans.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

prob for a 2nd.

NHL will likely turn a blind eye to this because it isn't Tampa or Toronto doing this lol

So all the Swedes are moving, it seems.

Wild may not LTIR Gus, think they can fit him without doing so

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Minny has cap so it's not LTIR shenanigans

 

[SI90]

Guerin wants all the Swedish forwards.

 

[tmg]

Guerin wants all the Swedish forwards.

or just all the Swedes nicknamed Gus.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Everybody else playing chess and checkers and the Wild are playing Tic Tac Toe.

 

[mouser]

This should be a pretty low return.

Turn a blind eye to what?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Hey Jarmo did a thing. Now Gavrikov pls.

Johansson slipped in there because 'Cus is close enough

Turn a blind eye to what?

I was talking about LTIR burials until the playoffs, but I guess Minnesota has enough cap space to not do that.

Because they have been so hard on Tampa/Toronto...

I would be shocked if that wasn't still part of the appeal for Guerin. He can still go after some other guys with Nyquist waiting in the wings for game 1 of the playoffs.

 

[mezcal]

Getting Gus, Ek and Brods some more friends nothing new

 

[Sota Popinski]

Now Gustav I can get into.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

For Greenway maybe?

He's been on LTIR for a while now. Provided MIN activates him as soon as he's ready to return, I don't see an issue here.

Had Columbus put him on LTIR only recently or if Minnesota keeps him out after he's cleared to come back, then I would see the Cap Circumvention argument.

With the league warning today about cap circumvention and the Wild being the only club that could fit Gus in if he comes off LTIR, it seems to be an interesting coincidence.

They aren't circumventing anything with this move. He's on IR when they got him. Circumventing would be putting someone on IR that isn't injured so you could add more players that you wouldn't otherwise be able to. Nyquist fits in MN cap space either way. No issue

 

[sxvnert]

Hopefully its Greenway going the other way
