Depending on how they handle LTIR with the Olympic break, that could be enough to put him on LTIR to delay it for a bit.

They can go retroactive with LTIR so they don't have to keep him there for the whole time going forward.

It depends on how strict they're going to be with the wording of it regarding the Olympics. If they wanted to put him on now, he'd have to miss ten games but maybe they'll give teams a break for the Olympics since they couldn't play games while someone might've been out. I don't know.

The Sharks might have an argument in that they played their last game well before the break and the rule is 10 games or 24 days whichever is least. The Olympic break was like a two-week freebie.

I'm pretty sure the wording in the CBA is AND not OR for 10 games and 24 days. I just don't know whether they made any exception for the Olympics or not.

The rule for LTIR is 10 games and 24 days.

With all the injuries this team has had this year, I almost feel bad saying this is addition by subtraction, but that's what it feels like.

It's not because Irwin is still in there.

I deleted the Irwin stuff because he has been playing a lot. Looking at the team right now, and getting Couture and Torres back, I wonder if getting a sturdy D-Man should be the objective. It's probably a mute point with the Salary cap, but other than Vlasic, Braun, and to a lesser extent Hannan, this Defense isn't all that great, this year at least.

Demers drop off the face of the world or something? Its a tough break because Stuey was playing pretty well. Yay more Irwin.

I am thinking the same way. DW will likely go to defense for the trades before the deadline.

Has any team gone to the finals with their main goal having an off year?

If it's any consolation, my parents talked to him, and my dad talked about his 2 goals close to each other against the Sabers a couple years back, and asked him if he could do it again, he stared blankly at my dad's face and said, "I'm not sure the team will ask me to do that." And didn't say a word/stared with no expression the rest of the night. I personally think he'll be gone soon. Weird, I know
