This is pretty easy stuff to look up, but if you’re not in LTIR your cap essentially banks up. Flames have 1 million in cap space but by the trade deadline comes you can add a 4 million dollar player without having to move any cap.
For the 16 or 17 teams that are in LTIR that doesn’t happen. If they want to add a 4 million dollar player they need 4 million dollars going out.

still would like an explanation on what qualifies Yamamoto for LTIR
here's hoping they have to pay a high pick a la Monahan to send someone out to remain cap compliant in a couple weeks
about time there are ramifications for continuing to make adds with cents left to spend on paper

How did LTIR allow them to retain Kane? Kane was on the roster at the beginning of the year.
Yamamoto being hurt qualifies him to be on LTIR. Same as any player on LTIR.
They won’t have to pay any picks a La Monohan even with Yamamoto healthy. There’s a path without picks. EX Sending Derek Ryan down
Best case would have been smith retiring. Cap hit disappears. Any other version would have worked just fine as well.
Seriously follow Puckpedia on Twitter. Great resource. I’m no expert but he does great on breaking it all down. The puck pedia guy also goes on Oilers now and explains the cap rules and that.
