But what does that accomplish? I thought LTIR doesn't buy cap space.

I'm so annoyed that I can't quite get this shit figured out.
 
Ltir lets you go over the cap, but it doesn't let you accumulate daily capspace.

There's literally no benefit to putting him on ltir right now. Once we add more contracts that put us over the cap, though, we then ltir him to stay under.

Ah! Thank you.
 
But what technically lets us accumulate cap space? Because I see on capfriendly he's on the roster still, yet I believe we're banking. So if he doesn't go on LTIR, is there an injured reserve he does go on that saves us cap space?
 
I thought each day of the season, we burn up cap with the daily portion of the salaries of who we have on the roster. And that if a guy is injured and off the roster or on injured reserve, we save the cap space he'd be using for the time he's out. So we aren't getting extra cap space from Freddy being out right now?
 
Yeah no space saved from injuries.

But if you're capped out, you can ltir a guy to go over the cap by that amount.

But you only do that if you're in immediate danger of going over the cap?

So then how do you bank space? By just not having players use it up during the season, so that if you're $5M under the cap all season long, then you have that $5M at the deadline to add a player and pay him just the remainder of his salary, such that if he's a $10M player you're only paying him the remaining 25% and thus have more than enough to accommodate (i.e., still $2.5M left to add others)? That how it works?

So then what's all the paper shuffling about when they move guys on and off the roster and taxi squad between games?

Only players on the active roster count? So they shuffle a more expensive guy off the roster to taxi in between games to save a little?

The media types are all working under the assumption that we're only looking for, or only need a guy who pushes Hutch for starts until Freddy is back because he's our guy.

I've heard them hem and haw about Freddy's injury status, but very rare is it that someone mentions his quality when healthy.

A lot of those moves are to be nice to your guys on non NHL guaranteed contracts. For example: Lilly makes 70K a year in the AHL, but 832K a year in the NHL. He gets paid NHL daily rate for every day he's on the NHL roster (broken down daily according to his 832K per season contract, but condensed as they only get paid during the season), AHL daily rate when he's not. So even getting shuffled up to the main roster for a few days in between AHL games can be huge. Rough math but Lilly is probably about 6-7K in salary per day (minus his 10% deferred and 20% escrow) to be on the NHL roster where he's about 500 bucks a day on the AHL roster.
