exactly…and the penatly, from what I understand, is that those players must sit the playoffs, or atleast enough of those players to get below the cap. Is it really worth being without max or connolly for the entire post-season to try and bring in extra help?
carbonfiberhooded- you are correct, this issue on cap policies were discussed at the recent GM conference i believe. They want to remove the grey areas of this policy. But these grey areas by no means will allow teams to work the system. The NHL will investigate with their own doctors. They will uncover any “setbacks” whether they be legitimate or overexagerrated.
Who knows, it may be until the playoffs until we get max back. But i believe darcy is going about this well allowing the doctors to make the call and taking it from there.
