Remember, LTIR is a cap-relief mechanism that teams only use when they need to exceed the cap for replacement players. The Flames haven't needed to exceed the cap yet, so that's why he's not on LTIR. He is currently on regular IR, which is basically the same except it doesn't have cap-relief.

Question: if you put a player on LTIR, can you remove them from LTIR before they return?
They don't want him on now, because they want to continue to bank space. Okay, but if they needed/wanted to bring someone in short-term, could they put him on LTIR for a while and then remove him again?
(LTIR question, not a Kylington question - let's just assume for this discussion that he
could be put on LTIR)
