I predicted it as soon as he missed the 2nd period against the Oilers. I figured they would use that move to buy some time.

It may be the smartest thing that Adams ever has done.

Could be the last!

This is a good way to temporarily alleviate the issues created by carrying 3 goalies on the roster.  It buys the team time to further assess Lyon and UPL without having to relinquish Ellis' rights.   Also, Ellis may have a concussion preventing him from playing professional hockey for a while

I hope Ellis is OK. I think he deserves more games, he could be a long term option, more than Lyon. We are still unsure of what Ellis is capable of.

What's new...another goalie that gets injured too often.

Nah, that would be signing Kuntar.  The Buffalo boy signing the Buffalo boy as his last official act.  Poetic.  😉

I am not sure he did it... way too smart... I am wondering if he had his authority taken away and it is Lindy that demanded this.  I think if it was Kevyn's choice he would have brought up Levi and made it a 4 some

Isn't it time for Levi now? Our supply of average Goal tenders is running low...

In the NHL, Injured Reserve (IR) is a roster status for players unable to play due to injury or illness, allowing their team to call up a replacement player while the injured player misses a minimum of seven days but can still practice/travel. Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) is for more severe injuries (missing 10 games/24 days) and provides teams with temporary salary cap relief, letting them exceed the cap by the injured player's hit. While IR doesn't affect the cap, LTIR's main purpose is cap management, not removing the player's salary from the books, but allowing spending up to that amount.
