I wasn't the one who allowed contracts to be front-loaded. If it were up to me, players would get salaries equal to their cap hit each and every year.
LTIR was designed the way it is because the NHLPA will never accept non-guaranteed contracts. Since you cannot cut a player who is physically incapable of ever playing again – you have to wait for his contract to run out – the league purposely extended the LTIR rule to cover such cases.

You are being purposely obtuse in this thread as you are in the other one where you are said I was lazy to call the North Division the worst in hockey but you won't commit to saying what division you think was better. Grow up.

I am not being obtuse. I am talking about the facts, and you are talking about a conspiracy theory in this case, and your own unsubstantiated opinion in the other. Grow up yourself.
