Season Opening Injured Reserve
Season Opening IR:
If a player is on a 2-way contract & was on an NHL roster for less than 50 games played last year & is injured prior to opening roster, their Cap Hit while injured is pro-rated based on # of days on roster last year multiplied by the current year cap hit.
Note: If a player was injured in a game outside of the NHL in the last season and meets the criteria above, he carries no cap hit. For example, if a player is injured in the AHL playoffs, is on a 2-way deal and was on the NHL roster for less than 50 games, and is still injured when the next season begins, he does not carry a cap hit.
