Trading for LTIR player
Asked Jan 15, 2023 by Matt P
Can a team in LTIR trade for a player who is out for the season to increase their LTIR pool? Ex. Could Buffalo trade Bishop that is on IR to a team like Edmonton to be placed on LTIR? Or would they need to be cap compliant with the trade the same as if they were trading for a healthy player?
