Quoting: Weezley
Well in Kane’s case, which this whole AGM is based on, is that he was projected to be out until the Western Conf. Finals. So Bowman loaded up with 3 players at the deadline covering the 6.3m of cap relief Kane brought for being on LTIR. Day 1 of the playoffs Kane returned and off LTIR...but there’s no salary cap in the post-season so they were compliant under the CBA. So in this circumstance, it is as simple as free cap space.
but these players are not out to the playoffs, and as it stands right now, their playoff lives are at stake, holding on by 2 points with the Panthers having 2 games in hands
Its only a loop hole if the team makes the playoffs and thats not even close to being a lock.
That dcore is not getting the job done in a tight race
