Edmonton was using ltir entering the season when teams do that the cap becomes fixed at that for the year so Edmonton will not be gaining any extra wiggle room by deadline. This is why teams generally try to put injuried players on the opening season roster before placing back on ltir. Holland obviously couldn't maneuver around both klef and Smith. Ltir can get a bit confusing that's just my limited knowledge. If I'm mistaken please let me know.

That sounds right to me. For sure Edmonton won't be accruing any cap space during the season.

You did alot of math and it was fun to read but unfortunately it doesn't work for Edmonton. Pretty sure you can't accrue cap space when using LTIR.
I think the point of the ACSL is to be able to accrue cap space while using LTIR
from Capfriendly's LTIR FAQ:
"When a team goes into LTIR, their effective salary cap, or upper limit, is changed. This adjusted upper limit is calculated as a function of the teams cap space and the player’s cap hit. This value is the “accruable cap space limit” (ACSL), and is the first value calculated. Second are the salary and performance bonus relief pools that are later explained below.
The accruable cap space limit is the teams new upper limit excluding their LTIR relief pools. If the team operates below the ACSL, they begin to accrue cap space."
EDIT: I'm seeing all over twitter than you can't accrue cap space while in LTIR but the FAQ page seems to contradict that, unless I'm misinterpreting something
