Wrong. What you are describing is the difference between being cleared by physicians to play (who will invariably prefer that players stay out until deemed 100% healthy), and players insisting on playing in situations in which there is outside pressure to play様ike in the playoffs or in the heat of a playoff race. If they could, VGK would have players back in the lineup immediately to ensure that they do not miss the playoffs. But, they can't容ither because players are actually not close to returning, or because their cap situation prevents an early return.

We値l have to agree to disagree. I知 convinced Vegas is keeping players on LTIR longer than the team or player wants.
I should be clear on the point I知 trying to make. I don稚 think this is an advantage for them. They could very well screw themselves out of a playoff position. But I do believe terrible management has put them in a position where they have to bend the rules a bit to stay cap compliant and avoid penalties. I知 likely being pedantic as, at the end of the day, it痴 working out just fine for Flames fans.
