That’s not how it works with this since Seabrook was on LTIR before the season started. Prove me wrong, make an armchair gm and trade Seabrook and watch Tampa’s cap space not change. Their on ice roster rn is under the cap.

Multiple sites and sources have said this exact same thing including PuckPedia, Erik Erlendsson and Joe Smith.

Even if that where true, which it’s not why would tampa get rid of seabrook a contract? Seabrooks is still on the books for the next 2 years which means tampa can take advantage of that extra 7 mil for 2 more years, it doesn’t make sense to move him and if you are right about tampa not using seabrooks LTIR space which. Once again you aren’t why would they move him a prospect a 2nd a phenomenal rookie for some 4th line bum who is already worse than the rookie? Why not use that cap space for someone like hertl,Kane or klingberg?

This isn’t how LTIR works. Yes it lets them go over the cap ceiling, however, their active roster is still cap compliant. If you add Seabrooks 7M contract to the books and then subtract it via LTIR it’s a net 0 effect. The reason TB acquired him was to ship off TJ resulting in cap savings since TJ is playing while Seabrook won’t.
