How the Flyers can maximize their salary cap space


Recommended Posts

 I agree with the first part, but why wait to put Kimo on LTIR? Getting Kimo on IR as quickly as possible should be part and parcel to maximizing cap flexibility....no?

 

May be wrong, but I'm guessing they can't LTIR him until he sees a TEAM doctor.  And it sounds like he won't be on a plane for several weeks-at a minimum.

Jammer, right now you don't need timonens space. There's no reason to do it either way, but you have to wait until day one, since you're not making up but his and pprongerrs salary.

Well, it's the whole before the season/during the season thing. If you put him on LTIR now, you either have to fill up the space or lose it. If you don't put him on LTIR, you can use his salary against Pronger's before the season starts. If you put him on LTIR now, you need to find a $4 million player to max out both his and Pronger's LTIR exemptions. After the season starts, you can put him on LTIR and wait until you find the $4 million in players that you want. Since we don't have one at the moment, it makes more sense to wait.

That was what i was thinking so thanks for the confirmation....makes sense. There are no 4 mill players left so that would require a trade. I'd wait and address later when needed.
