different wiz, metalhead. that wiz hasn’t registered here as of yet.
Thanks Gramps.
It resets every July 1. They have to show up at the team site in Sept to be evaluated by the team doctors. After that it is up to the GM to put them on IR or LTIR. Once they are put on LTIR, they stay there until they are healthy or July 1, whichever comes first.
???? thanks.
BTW, are you the “Wiz” from HB who studies junior hockey and publishes his NHL draft rankings every year?
In the NHL, Injured Reserve (IR) allows a team to fill a roster spot for a player out for at least seven days but doesn’t provide salary cap relief. Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) is for players out for at least 10 games and 24 days and provides the team with salary cap relief, allowing them to exceed the cap by the amount of the LTIR player’s salary
Hi Wiz. I found that part of the rule distinction.
What I could not find was specifically whether a team can assign *regular* IR to a player who has “qualified” for LTIR for years (like Weber)
It’s clear abuse of the spirit of the cap floor.
Like I said though, it’s the NHL so it might be allowed.I have not heard much in the way of Hutson extension gossip.
Was that expected before camp, or was there info that he is waiting for now?I agree with you on the LTIR/IR rules. They can keep Weber and Brossoit on regular IR
Are you sure that they can do this?
I was not able to verify that for certain.If Grecz looks good (even ok+) in camp I wouldn’t be surprised if they slightly overpay him on a 1 year contract.
His contract money could help them stay above the floor.The unknown cap hit / roster spot right now depends on the status of Brossoit.
edit:
I went down a rabbit hole w/ LTIR and regular IR rules.
If they are allowed to place Weber on IR (instead of LTIR) then his salary counts against the cap floor
but he does not use a roster spot. In that case the cap floor is not much of an issue for the Hawks.I could not tell if that’s allowed w/ a player who has not played for 4 full NHL seasons.
(but it’s the NHL so definitely possible)how far do you run? do you do it early in the morning like mr.peanut? i give you guys credit. i wish i had the willpower to do anything in the morning and you guys exercise and stuff. i’m like a zombie until like 11 am.
Tuesday 6:15 pm was speed work with a running club. (12) 400m with 1 minute rest after each.
Yesterday I went on a 9 mile trail run in a back-dune forest preserve near me at about 5pm.I trail run w/ the run club as early as 7:30 am.
My best time of day to run is from about 8 am to 1 or 2 pm. After that my performance starts to suffer.what’s shakin this morning, friend?
Nutch.
Tues and Wed I did aggressive running workouts so I’m looking to take a nap already.
canada, good morning!
mornin’
Hey hey hey Kaiser finally agreed to a deal.
$1.7 per for 2 years
Very interesting, still an RFA at the end of this contract.
updated roster and cap situation:
The 25/26 NHL Cap Floor is $70.6 million.
Here is a list of player salaries, shown in $ millions.
This is based on capwages.com, but showing likely roster spots(13) forwards:
5.50 Bertuzzi
5.50 Burakovsky
5.40 Teuvo
4.50 Foligno
4.25 Dickinson
4.04 Mikheyev
4.00 Donato
2.00 Lafferty
1.20 Reichel (only because he is not waivers exempt, might be gone via trade or waiver claim)
0.95 Bedard
0.95 Nazar
0.95 Greene
0.94 Moore
40.18 total(8) defense
7.86 Weber contract
4.60 Vlasic
4.40 Murphy
1.70 Kaiser
0.92 Korchinski
0.98 Levshunov
0.91 Rinzel
0.86 Del Mastro
22.23 total(2) goalies
4.50 Knight
2.75 Soderblom
7.25 total(1) retained salary
2.50 Jones(1) buyout
3.23 Brodie$75.39 million total, $4.79 million above the cap floor.
If Brossoit is healthy and they replace Weber with him (3G 7D 13F) their total drops to $0.23 million above the cap floor.
The Grzelcyk situation comes down to roster construction. If the Blackhawks go with 7 defensemen and 14 forwards, Grzelcyk could find himself as the extra man. But if they carry 8 defensemen and 13 forwards, his experience gives him the edge.
The cap floor matters with their roster construction.
Currently, I believe they need Brossoit *or* the Weber contract on the roster to make the cap floor safely.
Without either of those contracts, Kaiser + the 23rd rostered player (Grzelcyk or a young F/D) would need to total approx. $4mm in salary to barely make the floor.Also I think with the rising cap, there will be fewer free agents on the market in coming years since teams will be able to pay their own players.
Yes, but to balance this, in 2 or 3 seasons there could very well be teams that age or fail out of their Cup window(s).
Instead of poaching due to cap constraints, they might be able to get a very good / great player(s) from a team doing a partial rebuild or even a tear down.Crevier is no longer waiver exempt. Serves well as a 7th D-man.
My bad ! Thanks for the correction, Haru ! ????
Makes the D lineup even more interesting as the season starts.
If they keep Crevier as D7, I would add a few percentage points increase that Grizelda make the team.
Still not very likely unless Murphy/Vlasic/Rinzel/Kaiser get dinged before game 1.I’ve got 8 Dmen and 15 Forwards from the list making the team without him.
(8) D-man possibly rostered w/ the Weber contract (if Brossoit is not rostered as a 3rd goalie to make the cap floor)
If Brossoit is healthy, then (7) D-man likely rostered:
1 Murphy
2 Vlasic
3 Rinzel
4 Kaiser
+ (3) out of this group of Grizelda and 6 youngsters (Lev, Del Mastro, Korchinski, Allan, Crevier, Harding) <<<< all (6) here are waivers exemptGrizelda could make the 23 man roster if:
a) the team slow rolls the young D-men.
b) team has a plan to trade Murphy and wants a veteran
c) insurance against training camp injuries“C” is most likely, but with all the youngsters, “A” is not out of the question.
Overall not very likely, but not out of the realm of possibility either.
Hawks offering defenseman Matt Grzelcyk a PTO.
Zero chance I can spell that name.
If he sticks around he will be Grizelda
