despite the final chapter of the edmonton oilers‘ season being written at the stanley cup final, sources say the nhl plans to continue to examine edmonton’s use of long-term injury (ltir) salary cap relief with forward evander kane in the days and weeks ahead.
The nhl may require more information to satisfy itself that oilers complied with the collective bargaining agreement when kane returned for the second game of round 1 against the los angeles kings after not appearing in a single game during the regular season.
The nhl is still deliberating on next steps. There is the potential for retroactive punishment if the league finds the spirit of the cba was violated. No team in the salary cap era has been punished for ltir usage, despite the hot button issue and no shortage of complaints in recent years.
