Narrator: He did.  The roster moves were just cap moves to work the LTIR.  He'll be suited up for the Sabres' first game.

Well, I'm glad that we all just stayed calm about this and that nobody panicked.

I signed in specifically to feed off of the panic

The first line bit? Could be an indication practice lines are what we'll see. I guess people were assuming that already, thus the eruption you mentioned haha

Good for them. I’m too lazy to do the math, but I’m assuming the found the perfect combination of contracts to get them exactly to the cap.

No, not at all.  I'm extremely excited to see him get a chance there (especially since, if he bombs, Skinner's right there).

I think it was done to maximize the cap benefit of the LTIRs, which will help maximize cap space for the year.

No it’s Totally (un)Reliable Pi Mathematics. 

[pi2000]

#for each player calculate TRPM
trpm_dict = {}
for line in data:
    plyr_name, plyr_gp, plyr_pm, mmss = line.split(",")
    (m, s) = mmss.split(':')
    toi_s = int(m) * 60 + int(s)
    toi = toi_s/60.00

    team_game_pm = float(team_pm) / int(team_gp)
    team_plyr_gm_pm = team_game_pm * int(plyr_gp)

    pcnt_min_plyd = 100 * (toi / 60.00)
    exp_pm = toi*team_plyr_gm_pm / 60.00
    tr_pm = int(plyr_pm) - (toi*team_plyr_gm_pm / 60.00)

    trpm_dict[plyr_name] = round(tr_pm,2)

Hope that helps!

 

 

Also here's an old post that explains it....

Except all 3 need to go back down today to get enough cap space to keep Hunwick's contract under the cap prior to LTIR-ing him.  So, whether they dumped Olofsson & Jokiharju or the other 3 they brought up, they all need to be down to fit Hunwick under the cap.  And when that happens, they lose ~$28k of cap space which is essentially nothing because the league minimum contract is now $700k or a smidge over.

Should they send a higher priced guy down, then they lose cap space.  But don't see that happening.

But now Vic & Joker can get back today and they'd've had to wait until tomorrow ( which theoretically could've caused travel issues) had they not got sent down already.  And if the Sabres don't practice today, it makes sense to have worked the transactions when they did.

[Thorner]

Interesting random fact - the Sabres projected opening lineup for Thursday will only feature 4 Canadian players. Reinhart, Skinner, Miller, and Scandella. 

6 Americans - Eichel, Vesey, Mittelstadt, Sheary, Okposo, McCabe.

4 Swedes - Olofsson, Johansson, Larsson, Dahlin.

2 Fins - Risto and Jokiharju

1 Czech - Sobotka 

1 Latvian - Girgensons

Sorry, I'm not going to read a dissertation.  Let's start with with what the initials stand for.

[North Buffalo]

So Joker and Ollie sent down on paper, Pilut and two others recalled.. thought to be temporary for cap reasons.. didnt catch this.

So the final cuts weren’t the final cuts?  Why recall Dea?

Are they recalling Olofsson for opening night?  

Were the other guys recalled on an emergency basis?  

This last announcement was really confusing.

They are moving people on paper. Lines today will clear all this up.

The goal was to get as close to the cap as possible so that when players go on LTIR they get as much cap relief room over the cap as possible. So now a bunch of moves will happen again today/tomorrow. Olofsson will absolutely be back for opening night.

Taro has spelled it all out nicely in the lineup thread.

[Zamboni]

Nothing surprising. Teams do this constantly. Just a bunch of money moving to maximize cap space.
