Again, all within the rules as they are now. The rules need to be updated or better enforced in order to close these loopholes.

Like a bunch of other teams, including Montreal at the beginning of the POs (until they healthy scratched Tatar) including an iffy LTIR of Drouin. TBL was the most over, but others were as well.
What should they have done with Kucherov facing season long injury? Anticipate he would be recovered 2 weeks to 2 months earlier than scheduled and field a team that’s $9M under the cap all year? And then go without Stamkos for a lot of the season as well?
