I don't think they will be the first. But they might be first go with 21 man roster....especially if long term. Teams haven't even done long term 22 man roster.
The Hawks a few years ago, would send players down to Rockford after a game...and save cap for the off days, and then bring the player back for the game. Leafs might do that with waiver eligible players if they have any.
