Proposed Rule:?1 IR Spot - There will be 1 IR spot for any player whose injury will be greater then 1 month in length. 1 player can be called up from the minors without going the re-entry waiver system but when sending the player back down they must go through send down waivers. or 1 player can be signed as a IR replacement from free agency. Once an IR replacement has been signed, they now enter into an IR contract, that will last until the IR has recovered enough to re-join his respective team in competition. Then the IR contract expires and the player can then be re-signed to an extension by the GM or released back to free agency.Stipulation:The player being recalled or going on IR contract must have a salary less then or equal to the player being put on IR. ExampleSidney Crosby get put on IR his contract value is 8.7m therefore you can resign or call up a player up to that contract value. So say I have Crosby then put him on IR and I have Thornton in my minors. I can therefore recall Thornton to cover Crosby's spot until such time that Crosby returns from injury. Or I can sign a player in free agency up to 8.7m then designate them onto an IR contract.
Changes to this:A player expected to miss at least 10 games and 24 days due to injury can be listed as a long-term injury (LTI).Any changes need, let's stick with this rule as the baseline and make adjustments to it. Like for example instead of being sent down as normal, through waivers, they could be dropped down free (which will not happen)
Drew I agree with the IR rule, however I am trying to understand what you are trying to say. The words in bold ??

Just make adjustments to the rule proposed in question, no more proposing new IR rules but just make changes/edits to the proposed rule. Like for example in the proposed rule below:Or make additions to the rule but use it as a baseline for the IR Rule.
Ok agreed, should the rule processed?
I like the 10 games or 24 days as the length, I don't think we should lose someone all year if they break a bone in the preseason and I think we should be able to replace him. I would like to see us to be able to call someone up and send them down without going through waivers. To make it fair I am thinking that the player that was called up to cover for an injury must be sent down as soon as the injured player plays his first game back. Then the player has to go through waivers. When a player is signed from free agency they must be placed in the minors or be released to free agency ( for free) within 24 hours of the injured player playing his first game back after injury. Thats my opinion
