Maybe his role is an unofficial off-ice one related to goalie/player development.

Can't work with the team while still technically being an active player. Being under contract as a player prevents him from signing a contract for a front office job. Also LTIR is not the same thing as retired, the player is still under contract and can't be moved to a new position within the organization or be forced to retire and paid his remaining salary as compensation, it's cap circumvention.

Besides as I said in the description, I am just having fun with Angela Price's vague post lol

I don't think something like that would happen, but would be cool. The thing is he still can play, as his last game showed, its just that his knee starts swelling after some times... so a couple times a month would be awesome.

It would be unofficial coaching position. By player development, I meant of NHL roster players. It would basically be him helping at practice, kind of what Spezza did with the Leafs.

I was actually surprised how easy it was to get under the cap with Carey and PLD on the roster

Spezza retired and was a consultant for the Leafs, he wasn't on LTIR. The league and players unions would have a fit it's covered by the "no show" jobs clause in the cap circumvention section of the CBA. Basically it states any player on LTIR can not be paid to stay home or in an unofficial capacity while still under contract. Price would have to officially retire and give up what is left owing on his contract.

Kovacevic has no value to Winnipeg.

Here is the section of the CBA that covers examples of cap circumvention

A Club and a Player, during the Player's active career, agree that upon the Player's retirement, he will receive a sum of money for services to be provided to the Club after
retirement.

(f) A Club or Club Actor pays a Player or Player Actor for a "no-show" job, or for a job in which the payment to the Player or Player Actor clearly exceeds the fair market value of
the services rendered.

So he can't be paid his 10.5 mil salary to be a development coach and he can't have an "unofficial" role while still under contract

Neither does PLD at this point so it's all good!

Lol. Boy you get emotional and make yourself look silly.

I wasn't talking about Spezza's advisory role. There's nothing stopping veteran players from giving pointers while mentoring/coaching others in practice. It's probably how Spezza even got the FO job. Price being on LTIR could complicate things but he's still allowed to be around the team (Muzzin did it).

Who's emotional? I am making fun of your comment and laughing at your ridiculousness (just like everyone else on here laughs at you)

Yes he is allowed to be around the team, but with the way the league is getting with regards to cap circumvention, they better be careful.

I don't worry about what Montreal trolls think, but your remark is why no one respects anything you say around here. Pointing out a waiver level players as having no value sets you of emotionally because of your bias and your stomp your little feet and lash out.

Grow up and just try once looking at how childish your posts are.

Random players that one could argue aren’t as good as mid range ufas, don’t exactly help a retool or rebuild, making top 8 dman on a lottery team, and third line centers aren’t in very high demand. Will be interesting to see what that trade ends up to be

LMAO, I am pretty well respected o this site, you on the other hand aren't. Most fanbases on here agree that you k own little about hockey and just troll everyone else. You are also the one throwing a fit and being an emo clown, I know Kovacevic is a 6-8 D man and he doesn't have much value but the Jets need RHD and management would rather have NHL players than picks or prospects as I pointed out in the description and I could have included Savard or Eddy but you would just whine about that too and they have more value than Kovy or a 3rd.

TBH, I wasn't sure if the Jets would have interest in Kovacevic or not. His value seems about right for an add on to the deal since the Cat's 1st is so late and they need RHD but as I said to troll face, he is only a 3rd pairing/7th D man.
