Recalled/Assigned: Adam Edström and Jonny Brodzinski called up, Connor Mackey sent down

[Irishguy42]

Didn't he get sent back down?

Correct!

 

[Crease]

Does Edstrom earn a full day’s NHL salary for being called up for five hours?

Yes

Just saw that. Lol

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Yeah I have no idea how any of this works.

Everytime I feel like I'm starting to get it, something like this happens and it turns out that I don't.

It's confusing, normally you'd send someone down to bank cap space.

But with LTIR, especially if someone is likely done for the year, you actually want to be as tight against the ceiling as you can, so you can spend more over it.

Being right up against the ceiling, they can add a player with Kakko's cap hit.

If they were a million under the cap ceiling, they'd only be able to add a player with a 1.1M cap hit, instead of 2.1 etc.

Basically just maximizing the 'LTIR Pool' space

What the f*** was that??!!

But what about the inconvenience? Dude is busy outside of hockey and was made to do a round-tripper between Hartford and NYC on the MegaBus for shits and kicks.

In all seriousness, he doesn't actually have to physically show up to a Ranger facility or anything, does he?

I think it's just a paper transaction

I'm gonna go with my imagination on this one.

It probably had something to do with maximizing the LTIR space.

Without Edström they are actually accrueing cap space for the deadline. Calling up Edström negated that. So unless there was a bottom-6 player with a bit of discomfort, the callup makes zero sense.

It definitely didn't benefit them cap-wise.

I haven't done the math so maybe it wasn't, but the idea is to get as close to the cap as possible before putting a player on LTIR in order to maximize the LTIR cap space.

Don't you not accrue cap space for TDL purposes if you're using the LTIR space? So if there was no plan to actually utilize the LTIR space, wouldn't that kind of eliminate the need to maximize it? Forgive me if I'm totally off base as the LTIR thing has always been confusing to me, partly because we really have not had to worry about it as Rangers fans.

You don't accrue cap space if you are using LTIR space, but the amount of LTIR space you get is dependent on how much you are spending at the time you place the player on LTIR.

If we were spending 82.5 out of 83.5 and put Kakko on LTIR, our cap ceiling would go up to 84.6 (82.5 + 2.1). If we bring up a player making 900k, the place Kakko on LTIR, our cap ceiling would go up to 85.5 mil (83.4 + 2.1). We then send that 900k player down and accrue cap space, but our cap ceiling remains 85.5 mil.

That's the idea. I have no idea if that's what they were actually trying to do.

I’d rather have Jones as forward over Brodzinski . Hope someone else gets a chance. The Brodzinski experience has to end at the NHL level.

Just a sidenote: Jones played center until he was 14-15.

 

[TominNC]

Hey, I heard a rumor Miller used to be a forward. Sam or Joe said it once or a million times.

That must be when he stopped growing.
