wai_lai416 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2856459 not sure if posted but looks like he’s gone for the rest of the season and that opens up a shit ton of cap space for Vegas to go after a bunch of players.. and before anyone saying he’s faking his injury till the playoff.. well it’s reported his injury is a lacerated spleen not sure if someone will lacerate his spleen on purpose so he can be on the ltir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baratheon Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Interesting…. Puts Vegas in a weird position. They CAN now add more but should they be spending the assets (which are start to dwindle a bit) to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I always liked Stone, guy has had rough injury luck. Sucks to see him down. I know we are supposed to hate Vegas, and while I do. I like Stone and even if I didn't celebrating someone's injury just feels classless. Vegas has lots of cap to work with now though. Pettersson for a haul? Just kidding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see it in combat sports, falls, car accidents, you name it. Blunt force trauma to the upper left quadrant of the torso can commonly call it. The spleen has a very high blood supply, as far as organs go, so it doesn't handle trauma well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 One of those internal injuries that we will just have to trust them when fully healed, but I would take a guess its Game 1 of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point they may as well see if they can river boat gamble their way to another cup with this group, whatever the cost. Worry about futures, in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loophole that allows teams to put players on LTIR and then have them come back in time for the playoffs when there's no salary cap. Whether or not this is a legit injury, and it sounds like it is, the cap needs to apply to the playoffs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL needs to have the salary cap count in playoffs as well or these shenanigans will be even more prevalent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
