Not at all what I said or implied. Please.

Agreed, they certainly did not manipulate the CBA in the way the Lightning did with Kucherov. Just stated that players placed on long term IR are eligible to come back as soon as the playoffs start.

I didn't have a dog in this fight, but was hoping for a good series. This final - especially the last game - wasn't it.
