With LTIR Vegas doesnt have a cap problem

Huh?

Well every post I see has Vegas with a 10m cap hit for Eichel, and needing to trade Smith and Dadavonv In what world does Vegas have his cap hit for his term with Buffalo and his months of LTIR. The post shows a more reasonable two months of Eichel and his realistic cap hit.

i’m pretty sure when you’re using LTIR you don’t accrue cap space like this, and need to fit the entire annual contract under the cap. most of the media around this is saying they need to fit the full contracts in if he comes back in the regular season and i’ve looked for more info on this and haven’t seen anything different. puckpedia gave the only sentence that really says anything about it and said “when a player comes off LTIR, the team’s annual cap hit for that day must be under the Cap,” so it’s the full contracts i think.

Yeah, but the teams annual cap hit is accumulated daily. Eichel hasn't been accumulating any cap this season. Eichel's daily per game cap hit is about 120,000 per game.

It's the full cap hit according to Spector's hockey, not prorated
