One that I know of.

Why are players like Kucherov and Stone suddenly well enough to play game 1 but not a week before playoffs start when there is no cap space to activate them?
Many people have explained this to you before. I'm not going through it again.

And do you really think it is fair that when everybody returns for Vegas and they are icing a roster over $100M,
$92,239,581, but don't let that stop you.

that is not an unfair advantage?
Fourteen teams are doing it. Four of them are missing the playoffs. Some advantage.

If you don't think what TB did with Kucherov and Vegas did with Stone was not an intentional way to take advantage of a loophole in LTIR I have some tropical beachfront property to sell you in Greenland.
It's a loophole that 10 playoff teams are taking advantage of to a greater or lesser degree. It's not a conspiracy to reward one particular team.

People have pointed out to you that Landeskog is not practising with the team, not even in a non-contact jersey. Yet you are absolutely certain that this man, who hasn't played a hockey game in two years, is magically going to be 100% in game 1 of the playoffs, and that it is all a deep plot to exploit LTIR for unfair advantage.

Like, right, you're going to sit out one of your three best players for two solid years just so he won't count against the cap when the playoffs start?

Let me guess. They wangled all this just so they could sign the mighty Ross Colton last summer?
