Here's our look at the changes to in-season LTIR: t.co/VAFVnwesZq If a player is on LTIR and is coming back at some point during the season, the maximum LTIR benefit is now limited to $3.8M (not their cap hit)

Correction/Clarification: The 19 year old AHL change is not yet in effect. It requires agreement with CHL, & the NHL/NHLPA have agreed to push to get this agreement & change done for this season. However, those negotiations have not started yet & no guarantee it's effective t.co/NYT6l1xSaK

Here's our look at the new Playoff Cap Rules, including what the cap hit was for the final Cup Final Game in 2025: t.co/VAFVnwesZq

Roster vs Non-roster Players

All players on the NHL Roster have their cap hit count towards the team's cap hit.
Players who are not on the NHL Roster (in other leagues) do not count against the cap up to the burying threshold. Non-roster players who have a cap hit above the burying threshold carry a cap charge for the excess.
The team's cap hit each day includes players who are on the NHL Roster as of 5pm Eastern.
Players assigned to the minors must clear waivers if they are not waivers exempt.
