IR doesn't help them, it makes things worse. They don't get cap relief with a player on IR, it just allows them to call up a player and be within the roster limit. It just means call up scrub 23 also counts against their cap.

Solid congrats to the Oilers.

With 53 points they’re finally ahead of the Flames 52 points accumulated in 2018 by New Years Eve.

Oh, OK. Is it just LTIR that affects cap?

Yeah, if they are miss a minimum 10 games or 24 days they can go on LTIR, so a doctor would have to be involved. A real doctor as the NHL makes sure there's no shenanigans.

Kuch with 5(!) Points tonight kills any hope McDavid had of picking up some hardware this season, 16 points up with 22 games left.

Wow. Kane also has a pretty good lead on Mcdavid. Nice to see.

Holy crap. Kucherov has 99 points already with 22 games left to play. That's incredible.

It'd be awesome to see sad faced McDougie sitting at the NHL awards and getting nothing. No scoring title, no Richard, no MVP nothing.


Then realizing that he's stuck there.

Might get the Masterton for putting up with the rest of his team.

YES!

Start a campaign to nominate Connor McDavid for the Bill Masterton Trophy. For having to endure his No-Good teammates. E=NG

With the draft held in Vancouver, and with the Canucks already having Quinn Hughes in the system, I could see them kicking tires on the #1 pick.

I'll just assume the oilers have it. They'd probably ask for Boeser.

I know +/- isn't a perfect statistic but it's telling that there are only 2 players in the top 20 scoring who are a minus and they're both oilers.
McLotto and Drai, the two who play zero defense.

When is the last time McDavid has been spotted smiling or not looking miserable?

Bob Nicholson is going to be interviewed on CBC radio one in Edmonton some time in the next half hour or so. They are promising it will be interesting. Might be worth a listen.

So Vancouver is going to give Spooner a shot with Pettersson and Boeser it looks like

https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/...e-save-career/

spooner wasn't the best back checker, but if he capitalizes on this chance, he should be able to regain some of his scoring touch playing with those two...

what are the odds is scores in his first game with vancouver to amplify the nogoodness of "The Great Edmonton Tire Fire" (credit to the article author)...

could be a nominee for the next thread title too...
