I'm on my phone but can't we just run a 20-21 player roster and not use LTIR and accrue a significant amount of cap space by the deadline?They don't even need to run a minimum roster, they just need to send two of PDG, Aman, Friedman, Juulsen down, as well as Patera once Silovs contract is finalized. I'd expect PDG and Friedman to be on waivers relatively quickly. I suppose if they want to add a $4M+ player and dip into LTIR they could send them all down, but I don't view that as particularly likely.
Conversely, our cap space is literally the predicted difference between Silovs and Patera's salaries, so they could carry them all, remain out of LTIR and just carry one goalie. As long as Silovs makes ~$1M AAV. I think they'll have issues with roster limit, though, so probably one guy will get waived. Probably Friedman.
I suspect all that will happen is sign Silovs, waive Friedman, and go into cap with the current roster.
Ideally we move the Poolman deal to a team already in LTIR and if it requires a sweetener than so be it. But we shouldnt be worried about rolling with minimums with Abby close by and losing any of Amen PDG NJ and MF. Plus Raty McWard Sasson and Bains are still waiver exempt No?
