Over the months I've really warmed to being excited about what Coreau can bring to the table in the pros.

Wait... didn't they just call up some of these guys, or had they not been sent down before this point? Losing track of Who's on First and What's on Second....
Think they needed them up to be compliant yesterday when placing LTIR money.
That LTIR explanation never made sense. You only need the cushion if you exceed the cap, and adding two players to your total spending (it accrues daily) simply means you will exceed the cap.
Why do they need to exceed the cap?
I think jaster explained this in the Emmerton/ Roster thread, don't know if you caught it.. let me try to dig it up
edit: it was on the 2nd to last page http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showpost.php?p=71825071&postcount=903
So I guess by having certain contracts on and off of our roster, we maximized our LTIR cushion? Am I understanding that right? And now that the season has started and the LTIR stuff has kicked in, we are setting our roster back up for game day? That is what I'm being made to understand.
Thanks, Sunshine. I did miss it.
Okay, I see there's some new procedural item... Not sure why the league would do that though. If a player is on LTIR, that's usually a legitimate and serious issue. Why should it matter what they open with at the season.
Edit: CapGeek also says LTIR remains unchanged from last CBA. Will dig some more.
I was mistaken, it is not a change. Same verbiage in the old CBA. I don't recall Detroit doing it in the past though. Did we have a season recently where we A) had a player start the year on LTIR, and B) were right near the cap ceiling? I don't recall. But if we didn't, it would make sense that this procedure is new to us as Wings fans.
Why did they call up Ouellet on Monday just to send him back 24 hours later?
I'm sure they told him what was happening..
Actually I bet it was a text 'u been called ^ get 2 DET' then when he got to the joe holland texted him and said 'lol jk nm'.
They probably didn't even tell him
I don't think he's too upset over not playing, didn't he get something like $4000 for the 1 day up?
