Anybody who thinks teams and players don't abuse this to A) get rest for the player, but he's not really as hurt as is claimed, and B) add to the roster because now you can go over the cap and then magically bring everybody back onto the roster come playoff time, is living in denial IMO
The Lightning and Golden Knights are masters at this, and have won 3 of the last 4 cups.

From the league’s point of view, why is this a problem? Every team uses LTIR to skirt the spirit of the rules. The owners themselves don’t seem to have a problem with it. Most fans don’t care. The only people I’ve ever seen complain about it are hockey nerds on forums like this.
