I gotta chuckle when people accuse Vegas of "cheating the system". They aren't cheating anything, they're using the system precisely as intended. This is how the system works. Just like how last year Tampa didn't do anything wrong.
Your issue is with the system as a whole, not individual teams using said system the way it was designed to be used. Nobody is cheating anything, and I'd hope and expect the Flames to use this system the exact same way should it ever be required.
All that said, I do think there's major issues with LTIR that need to be addressed, but until they're addressed I'm not going to fault any teams for using it.
