Description

So since everyone is circumventing cap anyways - at least all the top tier teams, might as well join the bandwagon and try to emulate them to get results.

Doctors place Weber / Price on LTIR during the seasons - they only come out of LTIR free of injury for the playoffs obviously. During the summer they go back on LTIR due to "an injury suffered during the playoffs"

There we go. So now when the playoffs happen you add Gallagher, Price, Werenski and Weber back into the line up. Call up Caufield too if you need to.

Heck there's still 9 mill left on the cap with all that LTIR space. who else can we get?

So this is how you have to build a team right? this is how the salary cap works? you just keep good players on the LTIR until the playoffs.
Sounds good. time for us to no longer be a mediocre team.

Also if it's not apparently obvious that this is basically *a JOKE ENTRY TO BLOW OFF STEAM* because the team is mediocre every year for the past 30 years with a handful of exceptions.

Yeah - the guy on waivers is a trade piece lol (none of those trades fetch those players rip)

Idk if I'd call Montreal mediocre though. MB did a lot to try and put a good team together and they're just in a rough patch.

Teams or teams doctors don't have the final say whether a player goes on LTIR. The NHL and their doctors decide if a player is unfit to play.

Yeah it's just the frustrations I guess. As stated in my description it was just a joke entry to blow off steam. It's just confusing. MB is doing a decent job of improving the team on paper, but there's always these weird losing streaks every season. Likewise this season, It's all nice and good to be the 4th seed - but don't get too complacent! Even covid-vancouver or calgary won't have a problem catching up if we keep up a losing streak.

Columbus declines easily. Suzuki would have to be in any Werenski trade.
