Vegas Golden Knights make yet another roster move and accused of cheating salary cap
Here we go again Vegas Golden Knights put star forward Mark Stone on injured reserve. Stone and Eichel are both now on LTIR and IR heading into the trade deadline, which leaves the Knights with an extra $17.35 million in cap space, this is only if they both remain out until game 1 of the playoffs.
We have seen this before and it is not likely that Stone will return this season, considering the loop hole GM's can use. It is looking like it could be a busy deadline for Kelly McCrimmon. The Knights are already a very well structured playoff team, and if they can add more depth or star power things could get out of hand quickly in the west.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy slated him as week to week, and said it is not a back related injury which he has dealt with in the past.
Jack Eichel hasn't played since January 11th and the injury started as just week to week. He was shifted to LTIR on February 19th with little to no updates on his knee. Vegas continues to not give evidence on Eichel or Stones injury which is rising suspicion around the hockey world on whether they are actually injured or not.
