Effectivement. Cela a le même effet que si Blais n’avais pas été réclamé en Octobre et que le Canadien venait simplement de rappeler Blais.
Il est exempt du ballotage pour la même période de temps qu’habituellement.

It would only be true if it’s a conditioning loan which would require to activate him. If it’s a LTI conditioning loan, it’s 3 games or 6 days. They can also ask for a 2 games extension if it wasn’t enough to see if he is fit to return.

And yes, I understand it better than you. You don’t understand that there’s no 30 days or games period.

The player arrives on the NHL roster and the team has the choice to send him down or not. Carolina sent him down.

That’s incorrect. There’s no 30 days, 31 days, 10 games or anything.
If Toronto placed him on waivers at any point of the season, if Carolina was claiming him and were the only team to claim, they had the ability to send him down without waivers.
It’s not automatic either.

Because LTI have nothing to do with the playoffs.
Placing a player on LTI allows you to exceed the cap if you have no cap space left. Vegas had 0$ of cap space when the season started. The only way for them to replace Stone is to place him on LTI

No, it doesn’t give more money to the Habs. He is not on LTI. It would hurt them to place him on LTI.
Montreal is losing cap space because of his injury, not the opposite

No, they are not credited with the league average salary.
When a player is placed on LTI, his entire cap hit is added to the LTI pool. However, if it exceeds the league average salary, the amount is capped to the league average salary.

Yep, based on what Portzline said, PuckPedia’s projection should be right. Fedotov should be in the AHL this season.
He would have to go through waivers and 1.15M would be removed from his cap hit while he is in the AHL.

Because it’s illegal. It would have been a clear cap case of cap circumvention

As you said, market dictates the price. This is why the market already etablished the value of cash in the NHL.

It’s not a comparable. The negative value of a player is determined by the money left on the contract. After insurance, Price will cost a net 800k to the team that will have him. It’s around a 3rd round pick.
Monahan’s salary was 6M. 6M worth a 1st round pick.
Two completely different situations

What you’ve said is impossible and a clear case of cap circumvention. Montreal would be severely punished if they tried to do it.

Je ne suis clairement pas un fan du plafond en série. La NHL a fait une sur-correction d’un problème.
Je ne suis pas sûr qu’il y aura un plafond pour les série en 2030.

Alexandre Carrier always earned the minimum salary on his contract signed in 2020. His salary was 700k + 750k + 750k = 733K on average.

Minimum salary is a minimum. No player can earn less than the minimum salary.
Every contract in the NHL will be automatically adjusted which will also increase the cap hit of the players to reflect the real amount of money earned by the player.

Only teenagers are eligible to slide. 18-years old are eligible to slide twice , 19-years old twice.
To answer the question about salary, NHL contracts can contain juniors salary. In the current CBA, the maximum junior salary is 10.5k. It will increase to 25k in the next CBA
