They have to be cap compliant at the end of camp before LTIR kicks in, and it doesn't matter before the games start.
It could be they can't sign gaudreau until the seasons starts and smid is already on LTIR. Unless they can fit both contracts under the cap or find a way to be below the cap on paper opening day.
I think.
