Expecting a minimum of five to six months.

Has to be the whole room.

This is possibly when we were down 3 games to nil.

Some don't understand the complexity of the surgery and they don't understand the obstacles presented while rehabbing both sides of the body simultaneously back to full strength.

Recovery could be fast. Recovery could be slow. But going from 99% recovered to 100% recovered should take him to the end of the regular season.

Kane can focus on getting to the highest levels of strength and agility possible for his NHL comeback. How long does that take?

That's the key. That 1% between 99 and 100 gives a ton of wiggle room

I'm a bit skeptical that our organization has it in it to play the rules the way Tampa and Vegas do. They didn't have this conversation with Kane last year when he could have played the system like this. But we will see this time. Will Kane play ball?

Do we look to the waiver wire if the dept D don't look so hot or might we still see Schultz signed?

For recovery. Rehab will be added time

So Kane is gone for the season

Regular season sure.

To be honest too, they could do something where if he's ready to play by early April, just put someone else on LTIR for a couple of weeks and let Kane get a few games in, let someone else rest. Seasons are long someone else will probably be OK with sitting out a few weeks to let something heal.

His salary cap ia already covered

If I was Schultz I would hate the fans here

We're obviously going to use his LTIR space to load up at the trade deadline.

So to reinsert him into the roster pre-playoffs assuming he is even ready, which I don't think is even a given, you'd have to have a player or two come out probably for a week or two. But that can probably be managed too.

If teams in our own division like Vegas want to do stuff like this, then we have no choice but to respond in kind.

I hope so. Haven’t seen enough of Emberson to know if he will fit but that right side group is scary bad.

You don't acquire deadline cap if a player is on LTIR

 

[MessierII]

You don't acquire deadline cap if a player is on LTIR

Yes you do. You can exceed the cap by the players cap hit. As long as the player doesn’t come back before the playoffs you’re good. It’s what Vegas does every year.

 

[Soundwave]

You don't acquire deadline cap if a player is on LTIR

I'm talking the period after the deadline but while the regular season is going.

6 months from takes us until mid-late March 2025 as is, there's only one month left in the regular season at that point.

Now assuming lets say another 2 weeks of skating, if he maybe wanted to play in the one of the last 4-5 games of the season, maybe you can accomodate that then by placing someone else on the LTIR, giving them a break to refresh, and insert Kane in to find his legs.

 

[foshizzle]

You don't acquire deadline cap if a player is on LTIR

Yes you do. You open up cap space equivalent to an injured player’s salary, what you don’t do is accrue cap space.
