Did the league give a reason as to why they would let the oilers do this? I hope it wasn’t as easy as “we haven’t figured out how to fix our cap situation just yet... give us a few more days.”
I think cap circumvention is becoming way too easy these days. The Hossa condition still feels manufactured. What the oilers are doing with this Sekera problem feels like BS as well. Even if the Oilers brass told the league he’s not in game shape yet... how can he be any different than other players who are gone for extended periods of time and then come back? They don’t need extra long conditioning stints. What’s the point in having a salary cap if teams are allowed to smudge/break the rules?
