Best NHL goal in the past 10 years was what and why?
It really shouldn't matter if it is retro or not, it is not like a baseball 15 or 60 day DL. A player just has to be out a minimum of 7 days to qualify to come back (7 days from the date of the injury) I guess it could matter if say the Isles put Dipietro on the IR today-he couldn't compete until 7 days after his injury. If they put someone on the IR, it opens a roster spot too.For the long term, it is the amount of time you mention and is retroactive. It is a move to clear of salary cap space I am pretty sure. Are you looking at a paticular player??
