<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>Well, Washington-Philly will decide a lot, Washington is win and in, Philly I believe would pass Washington off of 4th tiebreaker with a regulation win leaving the door open for Detroit, Pittsburgh and maybe Philly to get the spot</div></div>

Just to point out how close this could become
Washington 89 points- 2 points in any fashion gets them WC2, 1 point would mean they'd need to hope Detroit loses in any fashion and Pittsburgh loses in any fashion (Washington has tiebreaker over Detroit, Pittsburgh has tiebreaker over Washington), a regulation loss would mean Philly passes them and eliminates Washington
Detroit 89 points- Detroit must get at least a point to keep their hopes alive, however, Detroit would lose tiebreaker vs Philly, Pittsburgh and Washington. So they would either need a win and a Washington loss in any fashion, OR 1 point, a Washington regulation loss and a Pittsburgh loss in any fashion
Pittsburgh 88 points- Pittsburgh has the best RW (1st tiebreaker) so a win in any fashion and Detroit + Washington loss in any fashion gets them WC2, OR 1 point and a Washington + Detroit regulation loss would get them WC2
Philadelphia 87 points- Their only shot at the playoffs is beating Washington in regulation, Detroit losing in regulation and Pittsburgh losing in regulation

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>On the <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/reserve-list/goldenknights">Vegas Reserves page</a>, CapFriendly says the signing rights for <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/players/mikhail-vorobyov">Mikhail Vorobyov</a> are to expire on his 27th birthday. Vorobyov turned 27 on January 5, 2024. But <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/813310">Vorobyov's rights were traded </a> on March 6th as part of Hanifin deal (after he turned 27). Perhaps rights didn't expire as he is KHL player?

Other's whose rights should be expired due to 27th birthdate

I believe the rule on that is their rights expire on the June 30th after their 27th birthday

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CantStopWontStop</b></div><div>Let’s just say: it’s fantasy land and in this place Mark Stone is cleared to play in the nhl prior to the final day of the season, and that he has to be activated off ltir because he is no longer injured. In this fantasy, the NHL office 100% believes that a ploy is in place so that Vegas can avoid cap compliance through manipulation of recovery times. (I acknowledge this is most likely not the case today).

Any guesses at:

What actual remedy would Vegas have to become cap compliant: Would they be forced to trade a player? Or is there something they could do roster wise to make this work?

What possible ways could the league render punishment? Just ding them a draft pick and move on? Let them play out the playoffs in the fantasy environment where they’ve failed to be cap complaint by like 8 milly?

We’ve seen punishments for negotiating with other teams players, and we’ve seen punishments for writing contracts that are cap circumvention, but I don’t think we’ve seen “team making player be LTIR when they are not” punishment. And it isn’t like there is a whole off season to consider these things: If this fantasy scenario occured, there’s like a week to make a decision.

I can think of a dozen times a player returned to play prior to estimated recovery times. I’d almost suggest that a player who has gone through numerous long recovery periods has become experienced at it, should be better than average.

Google says this, I haven’t read the source:

“NHL teams that violate the salary cap can face fines of up to $5 million, contract cancellations, loss of draft picks, loss of points, and/or forfeiture of games.“</div></div>

In this <strong>hypothetical</strong> scenario, Vegas would likely be forced to trade, if they don’t, I would expect them to lose their playoff spot to STL, lose draft picks and get a fine
