TB changed how LTIR is supposed to be used until 2026.

While I'm one of the people that thinks they skirted the cap and Kuch was healthy before coming back for game 1, he did have off-season surgery and was recovering when the season started. That's much different than shoving a healthy person onto LTIR to fit under the cap.

I don't see the point of having two Hughes type D on the same team.

I like the look of the D on montreal and tampa. They are big and mobile. One small waterbug dman is probably enough imo.

So will Tampa a cap circumvention team hoist the cup tonight or do the Habs win a game?

lol

Two Hughes are better than one. Endless options.

We used it before also as did many teams. We had Boeser on LTIR to get Toffoli .
- VANTEL

But how many teams used to to shelf 11% of their cap for an entire season and then bring the player back for G1?

Does that include separate power plays that have same amount of time as well?

Same amount of of Ozone start times too? Same amount of PK time as well?

Not all Hughes are built the same.

Sorry I edited it after to show that having two of those types of defensemen basically just leads to the other team scoring lots against Van.

It's like having Burns and Karlsson The idea always sounds great, on paper.

Seems to work for Colorado, Nashville and others.

Colorado has Makar and Sam Girard.

I don't think we're deep enough anywhere to say we don't need more of a certain type of player...except maybe goalie

Habs are benching KK tonight.

Pointless to buyout LE Roussel & Beagle.
