Rebooting myself
It's not a stretch at all that we'd shut down Kane. It happens in the league. The downside is that I believe it means we wouldn't be able to accrue cap space.
But just look at Hall in Chicago. He apent the whole year on LTIR.
The worst case scenario is that we'd have to move assets to make space when Kane returned. If so, we could spend those assets when the problem showed itself. It might not be an issue, if we have another player go down on LTIR
This is where I think Holland's philosophy and the other GM's philosophy is different. I think there were times we could have used LTIR but Holland did not use it for whatever reason. Other GMS are very quick to use LTIR
