Not the cheapest, the one that put the Canucks over the cap by the smallest amount. If they don't exceed the cap, no LTIR relief.
I think the proper wording is "Getting as close to the cap ceiling without going over" to maximize LTIR relief. I don't think at any time, a team can be over the salary cap with the players on their active roster.
It's sort of like the Price is Right and the "Showcase Showdown" where the goal is to get to as close to the right price without going over.
Pelletier re-assigned to Utica
Question for the CBA experts....can Pelletier play in Utica tonight or does he have to clear waivers first?
Yes, he can go back and play in Utica without going through waivers again. A player only has to clear waivers once per season (which Pelletier did) when the Canucks were trimming their roster before the regular season began.

Looks like Burrows is back...
Not true. After a combined 10 games or 30 days (whichever comes first) on an NHL roster a waiver eligible player has to be waived again to be loaned to the AHL.
That is incorrect.
When a player clears waivers and is sent down and then is called up again, he does not have to clear waivers to be sent down again unless he has played 10 games and has been on an NHL roster for 30 days - both are cumulative calculations.
CBA Article 13.2 sets out when waivers are again required.
(a) Regular Waivers were requested and cleared during the Playing Season Waiver Period; and
(b) the Player has not played in ten (10) or more NHL Games cumulative since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared, and more than thirty (30) days cumulative on an NHL roster have not passed since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared.
Based on Pelltier getting sent down or have you heard something else?

Yeah, or else we're making a trade or our fourth line wingers will be Alberts and Weber. Just going on reports Burrows was likely back after the Blues game, and I see no chance we dress two defensemen at forward.
Very cool; adding a top line player to team that's already on a roll.
Still, hope he's not being rushed a bit because of the injury situation.

Guessing:
Sedin-Sedin-Kesler
Higgins-Santorelli-Burrows
Sestito-Richardson-Kassian
Archibald-Welsh-Weber
The era of Sestito. Well I guess after years .... our bottom six finally has some size.
