This LTIR is total Bullshit. At the end of this deadline you are going to have teams such as Boston, TB, Rangers and others like 10M over the cap if not more.

And you'll have people acting like Tampa is the only team doing it. We gotta run it back.

DO IT TAMPA

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Smart move for Tampa. You need more than 2 puck movers in this day and age. Can't have any pairing that just can't move the puck. Klingberg is a good buy low.

Hasn't Klingerberg been incredibly brutal for the Ducks this season?

I agree, it's not just TB.....But I will say TB was the first to figure out how to use this bullshit LTIR to their advantage. Now teams are all doin it. It's just not fair to be honest. I don't think the league put this in play for teams to "cheat" the salary cap this way.

Doesn't play a lick of defense but still scores and has been hot for the past 10 games or so. He'd add value to Tampa for sure

Offering six draft picks in 2026

Yeah I'm not saying its a horrible add, just would hope Tampa isn't paying much for him.

That guy must regret not taking the deal from Dallas, he's not going to get close to that this off -season barring some majorly impressive post season run

That's never stopped Tampa before.

Hasn't Klingerberg been incredibly brutal for the Ducks this season?

He's terrible defensively on a team that plays no defense. On Tampa though he'd certainly look a lot better. He's far better than Shattenkirk who Tampa managed to make look like a decent player on their way to a Cup.

I mean Boston certainly wasn't planning on Hall and Foligno getting hurt. And its really unclear if they will be back at all, especially Foligno.

I can see a world where you make the minimum amount of time out longer. Or limit LTIR use to a certain amount per player, not their full salary. But, it sure is easy to come in and complain about LTIR without offering solutions.

Yes, they're really gaming the system by *checks notes* negating the salary of a player who will never play again and thus using LTIR for its intended function.

 

[FinnLightning26]

We've been bleeding goals for a long time now and the fix is to bring in a player who can't defend?

The solution is, if come playoff time, all teams fielding a roster must be within the salary cap of 82M. Not that the cap means shit during the playoffs and your roster is at 90-95M. That means certain players would not be eligible

Incorrect. Chicago was the first, with Kane back in 2015. Tampa and St Louis tried to close the "loophole". 28 other teams voted against them, and here we are. And Tampa isn't even using it at the moment unless Seabrook grows a new pair of legs in the playoffs.

 

[Breakers]

Poor guy cost himself SOOOOOOOO MUCH F’n money

He probably doesn’t have much value even at 50%

Chicago was in 2015. Hence both tampa and St. Louis wanted to close the LTIR loophole.

Kucherov from TB for 2 years was on the LTIR. TB gets more players goes over the cap, he comes back for the playoffs and now they are fielding a team with a salary cap of over 90M. How is that right? Some of these players shouldn't be allowed to play. All teams at the start of the playoffs should all be fielding a roster within the current salary cap of 82.5M it's simple

Sorry I stand corrected on the 1st. Regardless, it's BS

Kane was put on LTIR they got vermette, timonnen, and Desjardins. If Kane wasn't on LTIR than the trade would have not happened you think those three players didn't help chicago beat tampa in 2014-2015 stanley cup finals?

A lot of times in the playoffs the ability to clear the zone and get the puck deep is just as important for a defenseman. Could work.

Such a terrible gamble that was.
