After playing Vegas on Sunday, it makes me wonder who they will move to make room for eichel when he is ready to be activated. I still think they are going to pull a kucherov with him and I think that’s been their plan all along. The league will do nothing about it of course. No matter how obvious it is that they are circumventing the cap. Either he will eichel will be ready just in time for playoffs or, more likely, they will place 2-3 guys on LTIR when he is ready to return during the regular season and those players will be re-activated right when playoffs start.
If I’m wrong and they do have to move $9 million in salary during the season, who will they move? I assume it will have to be multiple players that have a decent cap hit. And I don’t think they have many bad players under bad contracts so it will likely have to be players that they don’t want to lose.
