Robert Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 So Clarkson is only suspended 10 regular season games & can still play 3 pre-season games this week including tonight. I wonder what happens if he gets "injured" tonight and the Leafs are "forced" to put him on the IR which in turn would free up much needed cap space...

Dewar Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I would have suspended Rolston for sending his goon out to attack a star* player. That was a bullshit move, and he knows it. *Not going to debate if Kessel is a star or not, but he's clearly not a fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I still find it 100% hilarious that this all happened WITHOUT Ott & Kaleta in the lineup. Imagine how worse things would have been with those two involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Cant IR a guy that is going on suspension You can. Teams are eligible to receive cap relief when a player is considered to have a "bona-fide long-term injury" — injuries that cause a player to miss at least 10 games or 24 days. In such cases, the team can place the player on long-term injured reserve (LTIR). #boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Darnell Nurse (this year's 7th overall pick) is making a really serious push to make the Oilers, and not in an ironic "haha Edmonton needs a child defenseman" way either. Very impressive preseason he's had. He honestly looks like one of those players where more junior hockey is a redundant thing, even if in theory it's what you should want to do with him. EDIT: He is going back to junior but it was a great camp. Seems a lock for the world junior team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the new CBA if a player say David Clarkson sustains an injury and will miss 20 games the 10 game suspension he is serving will still count against the cap. Then you could put him on LTIR. #doubleboom. And I am not talking out my ass since this very scenario was brought up on the radio today many times.
