So any one injury puts them at 20 players and if it is a goalie, then there is no option but to call one up meaning goodbye cap space accrual. Multiple injuries and it's into LTIR which would mean they traded Ceci for the cap flexibility of no flexibility at the deadline.

Yes exactly. The cap space flexibility only exists in an injury free world. Two injuries and they are playing games down a man, more than two down more guys. A goalie kills all cap space they have accrued. The cap space only works in almost an injury free world.
