Sorry for resurrecting this post, but it seemed like the most relevant topic.

Can someone explain to me the advantages of NOT putting Valimaki on LTIR, since the Flames are tight on salary cap space and could use the relief?

We already know he's out long term, and I've heard/read media outlets that the team could "retroactively out him on LTIR" to get cap relief, but why didn't the team do it already?

Thanks for the ELI5.
