Could be an indication practice lines are what we'll see.

Taro T Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 3 hours ago, IKnowPhysics said: I think it was done to maximize the cap benefit of the LTIRs, which will help maximize cap space for the year. Except all 3 need to go back down today to get enough cap space to keep Hunwick's contract under the cap prior to LTIR-ing him. So, whether they dumped Olofsson & Jokiharju or the other 3 they brought up, they all need to be down to fit Hunwick under the cap. And when that happens, they lose ~$28k of cap space which is essentially nothing because the league minimum contract is now $700k or a smidge over. Should they send a higher priced guy down, then they lose cap space. But don't see that happening. But now Vic & Joker can get back today and they'd've had to wait until tomorrow ( which theoretically could've caused travel issues) had they not got sent down already. And if the Sabres don't practice today, it makes sense to have worked the transactions when they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Interesting random fact - the Sabres projected opening lineup for Thursday will only feature 4 Canadian players. Reinhart, Skinner, Miller, and Scandella. 6 Americans - Eichel, Vesey, Mittelstadt, Sheary, Okposo, McCabe. 4 Swedes - Olofsson, Johansson, Larsson, Dahlin. 2 Fins - Risto and Jokiharju 1 Czech - Sobotka 1 Latvian - Girgensons Edited October 2, 2019 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they recalling Olofsson for opening night? Were the other guys recalled on an emergency basis? This last announcement was really confusing.

The goal was to get as close to the cap as possible so that when players go on LTIR they get as much cap relief room over the cap as possible. So now a bunch of moves will happen again today/tomorrow. Olofsson will absolutely be back for opening night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Nothing surprising. Teams do this constantly. Just a bunch of money moving to maximize cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
