Thread: leave seattle nothing worth taking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DEdward</b></div><div>It doesn't help Tampa as they are more than $5M over the cap next year with 12F 5D and 2G signed and no Young players they can send down without risking waivers.
It could work for some other teams, I'm not going through every team, but that still leaves the matter of still paying out the $8.25M owed to Klefbom. After the last year I'm not sure there the apatite for that.</div></div>

I just said Tampa as an example of a team wanting to use LTIR money to their advantage, im not saying he makes sense for them. you are getting caught up on minor details
plus not taking into fact that they have to lose someone in XD too, so they their cap space overages will be lesser

example they could lose Johnson in XD, and if needed trade for LTIR money to help even further with their RFA contracts in foote etc

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Klefboms not exempt so you are going to risk Seattle taking a shot on him? He’s suppose to be healthy to start next season right? They could even take him just for the ltir benefits later if he’s not</div></div>

Klefbom will not be healthy to start next season and it has yet to be determined whether he will be able to play again.

Its a given that Nurse, and Bear will be protected during the expansion draft. What is not known is whether the Oilers will sign either Larsson or Barrie before Seattle is given an exclusive window in which to negotiate with UFAs. Rumor has it that Larsson is the priority in Edmonton, if his contract is extended then he will be protected as well. If Holland chooses a 7-3-1 protection strategy, he has no room to include Klefbom or Jones.

Given their current roster and prospect pool, it seems reasonable to project their d-core might look like Nurse/Bouchard, Broberg/Bear, Samorukov/Kesselring or Kemp. Samorukov may be ready for limited NHL exposure next season, but Broberg is probably at least one season away from regular NHL action. Signing Larsson provides time for Kesselring or Kemp to learn the pro game. With Klefbom's future in doubt, Holland has to find a veteran 2LD. He can't gamble on Klefbom being back because his team needs to improve now while not giving up its future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DEdward</b></div><div>again correct me if I'm wrong but adding Klefbom and placing him on LTIR doesn't mean Tampa gets to spend $85.2M on dressed players plus all their LTIR players. They need to get right up to the cap including LTIR for openning night roster then place on player on LTIR. They can then go over by that amount. If they are over the cap before LTIR is used the relief you recieve is simply the amount you are over not the full amount of the player's cap hit. That's why the Oilers were still up against the cap all least year dispite Klefbom being on LTIR</div></div>

d if you have an unsigned RFAs for exmaple, you can wait to sign them after the guy goes on LTIR and you have the space to do it, teams can activate and use it in multiple of ways
