You should write a strongly worded letter to the IIHF complaining that their Chief Medical Officer is a low budget amateur.

What was even the point of Pierre and his cronies gaslighting us about Norris being healthy all preseason long lol
Centre depth looking putrid all of a sudden

It's not to protect Norris. It's so they dont get roasted over an open fire by Pinto and his agent. Who needs to be signed ASAP
Maybe it wasn't gaslighting.
Sorry but how does Norris not being physically able to play help in negotiations with Pinto?

Because Pinto can now just go to Ottawa "wow looks you really need a centre reeeeaaaaaally badly huh that's a shame anyways pay me"
If we start the season with a healthy Norris, we have a better chance of starting well.
If the Senators come out winning, the need for Pinto (theoretically) is less and the Senators can hold strong.
If the Senators don't have Norris and don't come out winning, the need for Pinto increases, giving Pinto leverage to get what he wants.
The best case is Grieg or whoever fills in well enough and the team keeps winning despite missing Norris/Pinto. Then we don't need to make a panic move.
Those 2 posts say the same thing...where is the contradiction?

One slight correction, he’s been on IR all summer, not LTIR, so yes he can come off IR at any time, but could also be moved to LTIR to start season.

Too bad they didn't use this type of caution last year. Gross mismanagement of the player and injury. No Pinto or Norris to open the season. Inexcusable, fire Dorion now.

I don’t see how LTIRing a player practicing in a non-contact jersey doesn’t result in an investigation by the NHL.

I feel the the NHL largely doesn't give a shit, lol. If we were entering the playoffs over the cap and we LTIRed a player in a non-contact jersey sure, otherwise nah.

And of course a lot of the confusion about all this can be directly traced back to Dorion talking too much. "Oh he's fine, he'd play if this was the regular season. We are just being extra cautious".
He was probably being honest but he should have stuck to "he's tweaked something and we are going to see what happens". That is how you handle questions about an injury to a key player who has missed significant time and had a setback.

Leafs LTIR’s a player who was on their playoff roster and didn’t suffer a new injury.
I doubt the league would care.

LTIR resets at the end of each season. As of this moment there is only one known player who was placed on off-season LTIR for 2023-24: Jake Muzzin.
