Injury Report: 2024/25 Player Injury Thread

Why is this? Does putting him on LTIR have any caps benefits? Trying to understand that part of the cap.

LTIR adds salary cap relief equal to the players cap him minus the cap space you had at the time you put him on LTIR, but since we aren't even close to using Zub's cap relief pool, we don't really have any need for the additional relief putting Perron on LTIR would provide. All that

It's a bit of a weird system to explain, but basically, when we put Zub on LTIR, our cap gets frozen until he is take off LTIR. We get a pool of LTIR cap relief, lets say 4 mil to keep it simple, from which we can use to call up a replacement player(s). Since we called up 800k players, we still have ample room without putting Perron on LTIR too, but as soon as Zub comes off LTIR, whatever is remaining from the pool goes away, and we're back to the normal cap. We could then put Perron on LTIR and get a new pool or relief so that we could call up a replacement player if needed.

Hope that make sense, it's a dumbed down explaination that isn't entirely accurate but gets the idea across. I think Puckpedia has a more thorough explanation in their capology FAQ.

LTIR and some FA intricacies should be pinned. It isn't straightforward.

I think I understand that from a cap relief pool standpoint, but I thought it maybe affected our cap hit available at the deadline, but on a re-read, maybe it doesn't.

From Puck Pedia: A team’s cap hit is calculated based on each day of the season (24-25 is 192 days). For every day a player is on the roster, the team’s cap hit is their full year cap hit divided by 192.

Perhaps I assumed being on LTIR removed a player from being "on the roster", thus giving us more future cap space at the deadline, but I'm now thinking that is not the case, and we just receive the temporary cap relief pool?
