It really is. They shouldn't allow injured players be traded.

Great move by Dubas here. Adding a quality 4th line center for the playoffs while not effecting our current cap situation.

I?m not sure about that. They may have to do the initial determining fitness to play loan first, but I?m confident other players have stayed on LTIR during 14 day conditioning stints.

Maybe they've done the LTIR loan, got taken off LTIR , then done the 14-day conditioning loan. But the 14 day conditioning loan is for players on the active roster.

Leafs only have around 4.2 Mill in space because Hutch is no longer an Emergency Loan and Barabanov or whoever will count agains the cap with Willy on IR. So they can get hall if Buff retains 1/2 or they involve a 3rd team.CarltonTheBear said:L K said:
Hall and Ullmark at 50% retained for both is $5.3mil
He'll play game 1 of the playoffs.

I don't think it's just a cap move because they really only gain a player to play in the playoffs. They don't actually acquire space with Nash.Frank E said:
Depends on injuries but I can see him being the 4th line centre opening night in the POs.CarltonTheBear said:

Random speculation here: If Andersen's injury and lineup return prospects were much worse than is commonly believed, would the team be publicly acting any differently? They wouldn't want teams with goalies to know how relatively desperate they are for a goalie, and pending UFA Andersen would want to project as much of an image of future health as possible. He may well be fine to return soon enough, but I wouldn't discount the possibility that he won't be and the team fully knows it.

I feel like, if the team has known for some time, they would have already picked up another experienced goalie. Unless it?s something that was only revealed in his most recent check-in, I suspect they?ve been working under the assumption he?ll be back.
