I don't disagree and I think my previous post was partly not well worded
I think in most circumstances its not ideal to be running into LTIR (again Flames don't want to put Kylington on LTIR unless necessary)
but teams can get themselves painted into corners (and some teams like theh Oilers live painted into corners) where it is needed
