Maybe not, but if you make the deal good enough, that's the player I would want.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Samsoc22</b></div><div>That Flyers trade is missing two 1st round picks at the minimum lol get real. Do you want our best players for free or? The cost of taking Matt Murray alone is a 2nd and the prospect. Then you need to add a 1st and 2nd minimum for Hart then another pick or two for TK. Get real.</div></div>
I don't mind that critique, I think I was just clicking on stuff to fill out the trade. If that's your only problem, you can have the Boston pick this year, the Leafs pick next year of the Kings pick. The moves don't all have to be 100% right but they're all at least based in reality. Flyers are rebuilding, they would take a guy like Byfield for sure, fill in the rest however you want.

Jenner, for what he is, how good he is and all of the things he does on the ice PLUS how long he is signed for and how much he is signed for should be considered one of the most valuable players in the NHL.

Thread: LTIR confusoin
I'm trying to wrap my head around LTIR and teams going "over the cap" and I just wanted to sort this one out. If a player is injured for a period of time and they are exempt from the cap during their injury so if they're out 25% of the season and make $4m against the cap the team can now use $1m of that cap hit against another player. There are players who, like Marian Gaborik are effectively retired but still earning their salaries because they are technically out with injury. Those players will not be on a roster during a whole season so Gaborik's salary of $4.8m can be used in LTIR to offset his salary.

What someone was telling me was that Gaborik or players like him don't count against the cap AND their cap hit is used as LTIR. What am I missing here? This seems counter intuitive. Why doesn't every team in the league sign an injured player to a 14 million dollar deal keep him on LTIR and have a magical $14m extra to spend?
