What are you suggesting, a weekly musical chairs of LTIR? "Sorry, we've decided that you lot of players whose salary cap just happens to add up to $10M, are going to be injured this week, because we want Eichel to play"? Then sit a different $10M of players the next week, under the guise of injury?
Either Vegas has to dump $10M of salary, or Eichel can't return until the playoffs. There is no other realistic scenario.
