This isn't a Mike Smith situation where he was basically LTIR'd for being old. That was a lot more suspect.
I don't care about this part of LTIR. My only beef is when players sit out on LTIR only to be miraculously available for the playoffs, and then they ice a team with a roster that grossly exceeds what the regular season cap was.

Mike Smith should have been LTIR'd for being a dick.
