Ensi viikon GM:ien kokoontumisessa asialistalla on muun muassa LTIR-palkkakikkailun tukkiminen. Läpimeno ei ole varmaa, mutta se on mahdollista.
Eräs ehdotus tilanteen ratkaisuksi:
"His solution?
It’s relatively simple: The salary of the 20 players iced by a team in a playoff game must add up to less than the salary cap limit. This season, that is $81.5 million.
Notice, that is just 20 players, so there is additional wiggle room for teams from the regular season, when most teams carry 23 players and need to fit under that same number. Also, players acquired using retained salary will count as they did during the regular season, not their full number.
Under this proposal, it would not eliminate the ability for teams to add or trade for players using LTIR during the regular season in the event of a legitimate injury.
They would simply need to sit that player out, or make alternate roster decisions, in order to be compliant during the playoffs.
Dress whomever you want, so long as you are compliant within the total salary cap figure."
Will NHL GMs band together to press the issue on closing the LTIR loophole?
