This is the part I think is the same. LTIR does not accumulate. If Stone and Pacioretty are back eichel can’t come off IR without significant cap moves. I think.

Thanks for the added info. Could Buffalo not have put him on LTIR first? Or are you saying even if a player is on LTIR once he is traded he comes off and then the new team has to put him back on? (And needs the cap space for that maneuver)
To use the flames example if Buf stayed above the floor with eichel on LTIR and traded him to Calgary, would the flames have to clear salary before or only when he comes off LTIR?
