Christopher Li+FollowNHL Closes Tkachuk Cap Loophole!Looks like the NHL has finally put an end to the Tkachuk LTIR loophole! After Chucky missed the end of the regular season and the Cats picked up Seth Jones, fans and rivals were buzzing about Florida’s cap gymnastics. Now, per insider Elliotte Friedman, teams can’t stash big contracts on LTIR and then bring stars back for the playoffs. If a player like Tkachuk is out for cap relief, he’s out for the whole year—including the Cup run. Thoughts on how this changes playoff strategies? #NHL #Panthers #Tkachuk #Sports #IceHockey10Share
