andrew ladd isnt on LTIR hes on your ahl squad, islander still have to pay him something like 4.3 mill per yr, nice try though can't just put whoever in LTIR same with Lee the nhl knows when he got his surgery and how long the recovery time is they won't let you finesse the league like tampa did chances are the league becomes much more strict on LTIR rules next season same with how much you can go over the cap after the deadline

So what surgery is Lee having . Kucherov had a surgery that has a 5month recovery time. The lightning new the recovery time precisely because in the 19/20 off season Point had the surgery and missed the first couple weeks. Of the season. 3 months from surgery to skating 2onths from skating to playing. Gourde had the same surgery in the 18/19 off season 3 months from surgery to skating and 2 months from skating to playing. Both the exact same time line as Kucherov

Now that we're discussing it, I would probably rather keep Lee for the season and give that surgery to Eberle instead. So just give him the tampa surgery right before the season starts (hip or something), it seems to fit perfectly to join the playoffs and the method has been tested three times already so it's fool proof! Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

No need. We're not that desperate. We dont need to cheat we can win on our own.

So next year is going to be shortened to 5months like this year? If it isn't the shortened season he's not out the entire year

Ok

There’s like a 99% chance ladd goes on LTIR this offseason
