I echo a lot of the sentiments about Vegas. It's not against the rules what they are doing with LTIR so it's fair. However, it's a clear loophole that needs to be corrected. I support the simple rule that you can carry the extra cap but the team iced needs to be cap compliant. It just makes sense and is fair.
All that being said, Stone, Vegas management, and the team doctors are clearly all working together to mislead the NHL on Stone's health status all season. To be playoff ready exactly at the start of the playoffs more than once is clearly not a coincidence but an executed plan. It's a joke that the league isn't investing Vegas doctors and Stone for lying about his health and ability to return to play.
For me, both things can be true. Vegas has the right to use the LTIR rules in the manner they are doing it, but they are also violating league rules about Stone's health.
