The previous season, over half the teams in the league ended up using LTIR to stay under the cap. There was never another time in the history of the league when cap space was so tight. The only team willing to eat $6 million for a pick was Montreal, and that was only because they already had Carey Price on LTIR. They could pretty much dictate their own terms.
