I repeat, for the umpteenth time:

ACQUIRING A PLAYER TO PUT HIM ON LTIR DOES NOT GIVE YOU ANY CAP RELIEF!!!!!!!!!

If the Knights acquired Kesler, his full salary of $6,875,000 would count against their cap. They would, in exchange, get a temporary cap increase of $6,875,000 to pay replacement players. The two amounts cancel out. There is no cap relief from acquiring an injured player.

The ONLY reason the Knights were getting cap relief from the trade was that Dadonov was being shipped out and his $5,000,000 salary was coming off the active roster.

Thanks Jay. So now what is the Knights' position/situation?
