I personally think if a player is on the injury list, it should not count to the cap. It's annoying.<BR/><BR/>Moreau = boring. Like I've said before, it could be worse (hello Pisani).

None. This is because the team's salary + the player's salary is still under the cap. <BR/><BR/>The only way you get to spend to the max plus the entire amount of the injured player's salary is if you were already exactly at the max. <BR/><BR/>The LTI clause only brings relief to those teams spending near the max and with injured player's salaries that then push them over the max. For instance, if a team has a payroll of $48 million and an injured (LTI) player with a salary of $5 million, then that team would temporarily be able to spend $53 million while the player was on LTI (but would be required to get back under the original cap immediately when the player returns from LTI).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30979419.post-66374531040938620372007-11-07T08:01:00.000-07:002007-11-07T08:01:00.000-07:00Pisani's injury isn't hockey related, so in order ...Pisani's injury isn't hockey related, so in order for his salary not to count against the cap. The Oiler's would have to suspend him. Buffalo did this to Numminen because of his heart ailment. However, the Oilers are classy, Buffalo is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
