Send the man down!

In backyard IR replacement players are assigned to the player that are on IR. I think that is what has always been done according to the rules.

Sorry yes, this is where my question comes from. The purpose of this was so that you would have to eventually release these players back to free agency for everyone to have a fair shot on, especially if they were a good performing player. If you allow a switch of players then you can just pick the best player as an IR replacement and release the ones not doing as good in comparison to the one you signed to replace that specific player. The intent of the rule this way was so that there was a legitimate free agent pool to get IR players from and they weren't just maintained on their roster as per say a "taxi squad" member from this season.
Just food for thought, I am good with whatever decision.

So I can just move an IR replacement around?
So say a player like Pavel Zacha, I have as an IR replacement for someone. I can release Seabrook then place Ellis on IR and keep Zacha as a replacement?
Or I could move Zacha to an IR replacement for Zucker then place Ellis on IR and be all good?

Forgot the second part of this move, call back up Adam Boqvist

Really I thought I had this all figured out haha.

Throw Zucker on IR but still use Oleksiak as an IR replacement for Seabrook
