Here's a good preliminary break down .. LTIR gymnastics teams will be looking for work..

https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/nhl-nhlpa-framework-new-cb a-announcement-friday-84-game-season-ltir

I'm really interested to see how the new playoff cap mechanisms will work. Closing the LTIR will stop a certain amount of rage from fans about opposing teams loading up, but it may have the unintended consequence of killing off a lot of activity at the trade deadline. If most of the contending teams are close to the cap, then they won't be able to make those moves.

I understand that there will be a mechanism that teams must have in-game lineups that are compliant to the salary cap, but how are players acquired during the year counted? Historically, you've seen teams able to multiply their cap to an extent at the deadline because $1MM in cap space held over the course of the season can get you a ~$4MM player at the deadline. LTIR has been used to super-size that and to give teams currently at the cap the ability to get significantly more, but is the new rule going to close off both of these things? Or is the $4MM player going to only count against the team's cap at $1MM because he only played a quarter of the season with the acquiring team?

If it's both sides of that being closed off, then we're going to see in-season trades really fall off as teams will have to shed significant contracts in order to make any significant deals.
