Food for thought, a few years back there was a vote among all NHL teams on whether to keep this loophole or to change it.

Tampa voted against keeping the loophole
Montreal voted to keep the loophole

dont blame tampa, blame the rules
They're bending the rules but didnt break any rules.
It's cheap af but still legit

Excuses are for losers
Winners find solutions

We lost 4-1 to Vegas game 1

ITS NOT OVER!!!! GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure it was for pronger type of ltir where a player cant play anymore and you dont want to buyout his contract

Not leave player on ir on purpose to sign 20m more over the cap and said injured players magically come back on game 1


Legally? Obviously yes
Morally? No and thats why they are getting all that hate

All those possibilities were well known by the professionals when they voted on it

The cba was just renewed
A few years ago is completely irrelevant.

The league does it to themselves.

Tampa deserves to win it all this year then be the worst team in the league for the next 20 years
(so they beat Habs )

How fucked are they for next year cap wise?
I feel like as long as Point, Kucherov, Hedman, Mcdonagh, Vasilevsky are part of that team they'll still be god tier.

they are going to lose a bunch of their good bottom 6 guys due for raises unless they move out some of the higher paid guys like killorn gourde johnsson cirelli palat(all making 4m+) point needs a new deal next season

according to capfriedly they are still 6m over the cap next season with all the rfa and UFA players from this season not undercontract so its likely they work out a deal with seattle to free up some cap or else they are fucked
they will likely be able to make it work pay seattle to take somebody make 1 move sign the depth guys put stamkos/kucherov on ltir all season trade for whoever u want then activate them all in the playoffs
