I worry what may have happened here was the Kane really didn't want to sit out until the playoffs, and he was pushing back against the org. We saw many indications last year that he was refusing to sit out and wanted to play through an injury almost all of 23/24, which screwed both him and the team in the end. We kept seeing reports that he could come back early and potentially that he was pushing to come back because he didn't want to go cold into the playoffs.
If the player isn't going along with the LTIR scam like Landeskog, Tkachuk, Stone, Kucherov, etc... all did in the past, then I could see the NHL finding an opening to finally try to burn a team for using this loophole. I guess Kane would be the second guy to go against the org plans if that is what happened. Lupul did it too to Toronto, but flipped his story when he got a call from the godfather Lucky Lou.
