As am I. I have no idea why not? I mean he IS by definition LTIR, but maybe it has something to do with how they can activate him or something.
Of course....that info could just be wrong - it came from Cap Friendly so....

This is one area hockey could advance into modern times. At least give updates if a player needs surgery or not. With all the cameras and tape everyone knows whatever it is that causes a player to miss games anyway. They'll whack ya in the leg/arm/hand regardless if it's a sprain, break, tear, dislocation, bruise, bump, scrape, twist, hell they don't need a reason.

I'm curious about how the Backy situation will ultimately resolve. I was reading any player on LTIR receives full salary, but if the player retires due to injury (or whatever reason), then the team is relieved of paying out that contract, (and no longer figures in salary cap). Let's say Backy returns, but he's only 80% of the player/skater he was. No incentive for him to retire, but WHO gets to decide whether he is really still contract worthy? Not counting him out, but $9m for the next three years buys 2 or three Connor Browns per year.
And what's the story with Hags? I was assuming he was trying to rehab from his eye issue, then I read he had Hip Surgery earlier this month? I never heard any coverage of this at all. Says he is out indefinitely....which means....he's done. I expect he will be on LTIR for the remainder of the season and then his contract expires, so I expect he will just retire.
What is it with Swedes and their hips?
