Backy taking leave of absence
justwincaps:
Sad day for Caps fans, but happy he is prioritizing his long term health.

My first guess is the hip didn’t heal as he expected.

Keep him on LTIR until the playoffs, if we make the playoffs. If he's feeling it, he can join them! We get to spend the 9.2m and he can rest until his contract expires!

Holy cow. Didn't see that coming. Sucks for Backy, but sadly I think it is time.
So....what does that mean for salary cap....does he get moved to LTIR/IR for cap purposes?
Very little info out there. I think this team could surely use $9m
Really sucks though. Rather see Backy go out with another Cup and retire legit. He's one of the good guys I think
(couldn't figure out how to move this post from the boredom thread when I saw the new thread)
