It didn't contemplate using LTIR as a way to Robida Island players but the teams began doing so and they've yet to act on it. You're also using the word veto where there is none in the CBA. A signature is not



But none of that matters because Monahan is on the injury reserve.


You've made a bunch of interpretations that go against the CBA. I agree that a grievance would likely result in the player's favour but you can't just say it would.

So with respect to Monahan, unless he is cleared by the physician, he is eligible to be placed on the IR by the team because he was injured at the end of last season. That's the Flames choice.

If he is expected to miss 10 games, he can be placed on LTIR. That's the Flames choice.

Once he is able to come back (if 10 games has passed), the only way to activate him is to make room. Otherwise the player cannot be activated. There has yet to be a determination made if the player is healthy and wants to play what happens if the team refuses to make room. The only thing the CBA says is the player is to remain on LTIR, nothing else. Everything else is speculation.
