So, apparently there's some nuanced form of IR, SOIR, that teams can somehow leverage for cap savings but I just don't understand it. I've read the CapFriendly page and still don't get it. So I was gonna see if a resident CBA guru here might be able to explain in lamens.
For example, the NYR and Chicago Blackhawks have Yegor Rykov and Kirby Dach respectively on this nuanced SOIR (I'm sure others are as well). Both players are technically still on their teams rosters even though they really didn't make their teams or expect to contribute in the NHL this year. They are only listed on the rosters to leverage this so called SOIR.
So, I was wondering if anyone knows more about this and why this really exists. I just fundamentally don't understand it and how it's different from regular IR.
