Same idea, we'd have to leave a marginal player off our roster for a few games.

If he's available to play, it's probably better that he gets a few games in before the end of season.
Assuming MB brings in another D.

Chiarot going the LTIR route would guarantee a fairly hefty bonus overage penalty for next season with Nick Suzuki, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Romanov all trending towards hitting some. Teams can’t bank cap space and use LTIR. It’s a one or the other proposition. Knowing the cap crunch that is coming for next season, that’s not an insignificant factor.
I'd still LTIR his ass and try to get Ekholm. Problem is the price that will be trending towards 1st + 2 prospects. Especially with the auction push from multiple teams.

Not sure I follow this? Other teams seem to have saved a ton of space, with putting guys on LTIR? But putting our guy on LTIR will cost us space next year? Because of some bonus that maybe will be earned?
Like others said it is not very big. Either ways I ended up being right, Chiarot is still not on LITR. We are 3 weeks away from TDL so it seems the trend will continue.
For the bonus story it goes like this(I think):
If you haven't used your LITR bankroll the previous year, you can then use it next year to cover up up to a sum on bonuses the following year.
Other teams put their guys on LTIR? Wouldn't we gain the space of his salary for 6 weeks? That's worth saving?
Sorry, I must be missing something...?

I believe LTIR rules state a player will miss a minimum of 10GP AND 24 days in the NHL season - they’re probably expecting Chiarot to be back pior?

So he may not be eligible for ltir. Even if he is you don't save that cap space, you can only use it while they are on Ltir. Ltir basically allows you to go over the cap by that much until the player is healthy.

Is Chiarot returning going to upgrade or worsen our D?

That's like asking which Buffalo player are they putting on the All Star team this year...

McGuire, Miller and Ferraro have said the same over the last week.
Again, the "best" defense in a Division where no one plays quality defense is getting nothing done...hence why we Habs fans see that our D is our biggest need going forward...

You play the hand you’re dealt - first two playoff rounds are North division matchups....and if you get to the semifinals you deal with whatever the opponent is...
...or you upgrade that crap D and try to win the Cup...personally, I'd rather the latter...

...and yet D is still the Habs biggest Achilles Heel...so why not fix that??...cuz, last time I checked, there are still 3 teams ahead of us and two right behind (games in hand mean squat unless you win them)...
