Milano was put on IR two games ago to clear a roster spot for Chychrun being reactivated.
Players on IR or LTIR usually stay on the roster. Players than have been sent to the AHL shouldn’t be. Caps dot com is the worst run team website in the league. To verify who is in DC or Hershey, I usually check Hershey first. They make changes to the roster the second they get word a player is coming or going.
With Milano on IR, Oshie and Backy on LTIR, Sgarbossa and Iorio actually in Hershey, Eller makes 23 active players. Someone will have to go when Milano gets healthy. With the crappy cap sites still available for free, I can’t tell who is waiver exempt for Hershey and who isn’t. The only one we know at the moment is Lapierre is exempt. I have no idea about McIlrath or Alexeyev. But as I recall, Alexeyev stayed in DC because he’s not exempt.
