This is the intention of the rule but simply stating that IR replacements are considered active players solves this because you can't have more than 3 active goalies.
I'm still confused...This is how I feel. I hope my vote of YES was the same as what this says.When a goalie is put on IR, he is no long active.When another goalie is called up as an IR replacement, he is then the active player.This would still be legal.Michal Neuvirth, $1.6m (2014-15)Darcy Kuemper, $0.5m (2014-15)Pekka Rinne, $8.0m (2015-16) IRMartin Jones, $0.2m (2015-16) - IR replacement
I think clarity is worth going the extra mile for and that officially adopting this statement (a goalie can only be used as an IR replacement for an injured goalie and may not be employed on the main roster out of position) will give us an unambiguous policy even if rendered redundant by a yes vote.
This is what everyone wants....and we have just had a pretty clear vote restricting the number of active goalies to three. So I am curious why open up a new vote on this when it could potentially undermine the one we just had by creating a loophole that IR call-ups are somehow exempt from the being counted as active players.
