Timing in life is everything, and the Knights are just better at it.
OK, that's the problem you want to solve.It is solving the problem of teams sticking Mark Stone on LTIR 3 years in a row to load up for the playoffs and having him ready Game 1 and a roster that is significantly over the cap based on accrued space.
I have a feeling if it was Winnipeg, not Vegas or a sunbelt team that this would’ve been corrected in someway already.If there is a problem, it is the stark divide that exists on this issue between most NHL fans (there are always exceptions) and ownership. The league office pulses the GMs and the owners pretty regularly on whether they have issues with the LTIR regulations, especially come playoff time, and are interested in changing them.
They have so far resisted the idea that there is a problem they need to solve, arguing that in practice it is working about how they envisioned it in the first place. Fans and owners are far apart. You wonder if there comes a tipping point, but there's no sign of one right now.
The average NHL owner cares more about revenue sharing and profits than winning now, which is a major part of what's wrong with hockey.If there is a problem, it is the stark divide that exists on this issue between most NHL fans (there are always exceptions) and ownership.

I get a kick out of people crying about Vegas playing within the rules.
Should they close this loophole? Yeah. Are they cheating? Nope. They aren’t forcing their players to get hurt seriously enough to legitimately land on LTIR.
I respect the hustle and their business model works.
If it was Winnipeg there would be much less online whining, but no, the CBA would not have been amended to change the salary cap rules.I have a feeling if it was Winnipeg, not Vegas or a sunbelt team that this would’ve been corrected in someway already.
How'd that work in 2022?It is solving the problem of teams sticking Mark Stone on LTIR 3 years in a row to load up for the playoffs and having him ready Game 1 and a roster that is significantly over the cap based on accrued space.
They didn't make the playoffs in 2022 and the roster wasn't over the cap in 2023It is solving the problem of teams sticking Mark Stone on LTIR 3 years in a row to load up for the playoffs and having him ready Game 1 and a roster that is significantly over the cap based on accrued space. The difference between TDL acquisitions and LTIR is the accrued space is used to acquire players instead of hiding them away until the playoffs so you can make significant trades.

No, there is nothing in the CBA that would allow a doctor or league executive to force a player to play in a game before the player wanted to. And there never will be.I understand the rules cant change until the next CBA.
However is there not a dr or someone from the league who can say this guy is healthy and has to play game 82?
Is there no mechanism to confirm players are injured or not?

This sums up the vast, vast majority of "solutions" fans have.If there is a problem, it is the stark divide that exists on this issue between most NHL fans (there are always exceptions) and ownership.
Pietrangelo is still out of the lineup and people are really confused about what is going on. $8.8 million cap hit. So far all I’ve heard is he has been sick for weeks.
Well, exploiting too much a loophole may actually be considered cheating, didn't the NHL actually punish teams for explointing the "backloaded contracts loophole" in the past?I get a kick out of people crying about Vegas playing within the rules.

My point is his cap hit is almost as big as the Mark Stone cap hit so it would be kind of funny if Stone comes back and he doesn’t.So? Other teams deal with this too. Ekblad got hurt the day right after the trade deadline and may be back for game 1, but who really knows. If he got hurt a day before? Florida could have used the cap space. Its just so random.

Still think he will come back though.
