On the Lightning’s use of LTIR this season
Joe Smith: Tampa Bay Lightning GM Julien BriseBois said that they’ve had to justify Nikita Kucherov‘s surgery and rehab with the NHL. The league was investigating the process to make sure “it was done by the rules.” Kucherov was able to return quicker than they had thought.
Gord Miller: Agree with Ray Ferrero that the Lightning didn’t break any rules this season with their use of LTIR and having Kucherov return for the playoffs.
Some GM have suggested that a player must be on the regular season roster at some point to be eligible for the playoffs.
Gord Miller: “Three CBA changes I support:
1. Player can’t go on LTIR unless they’ve previously been on that team’s roster
2. A portion of a new contract doesn’t count against the cap if they’ve been with the team 7+ years
3. Player must have been on regular season roster to play in playoffs.”
