Kings literally can't afford another injury
Marian Gaborik is expected to miss tonight's game, and perhaps a couple more, with a lower body muscle injury. If that's the case, the Kings are one more injury away from a serious roster pinch.
The Nike Sb Shoes Kings started the season last week with a 23 man roster, one that nearly took them to the NHL's salary cap ceiling of $69 million.
Since then, the Kings have had three players Gaborik, forward Trevor Lewis and defenseman Jake Muzzin sidelined with injuries. They now have 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies, and zero healthy ''spare'' players. What happens if another Cheap Ghd Melbourne player gets hurt before one of the three injured guys Ghd Sale Australia returns?
In that case, the Kings will have a tough decision to make.
Because of their cap number, the Kings would have to wait 33 days until they can make a transaction and bring up a player under normal circumstances.
The only exception is for players on long term injured reserve, whose salaries do not count under the cap.
There is the possibility of an emergency call up, but in order to do that, the Kings would have to play one game with fewer than 18 skaters. After that game, they could make an emergency call up from the AHL, but only (because of their salary cap pinch) for a player who makes the NHL's minimum salary.
So, for the sake of argument, assume that Gaborik, Lewis and Muzzin will all remain out for the next three games (tonight against Edmonton, Thursday against St. Louis, Sunday against Minnesota). Then, further Ghd Hobart assume that another player suffers an injury tonight. These would be the Kings' options.
Put a player on long term injured reserve, which includes a minimum stint of 10 games or 24 days. That would allow the Kings to call up a replacement from the AHL. The most likely candidate, right now, would Nike Free Run 7.0 be Lewis, who will miss his third game (and sixth day) tonight.
Go with a Ghd Straightener Adelaide short roster for one game, then call up a low salaried player from the AHL. This would Ghd Hair Australia Online allow the Kings to avoid putting a player on long term injured reserve.
The thought, among management, is that if another forward got injured, the Kings wouldn't fret about playing one game with only 11 forwards. That happens, strategically, from time to time.
The Kings, however, would be highly reluctant to start a game with only five defensemen, because one more injury would take them to four, and that would be a nightmare. If another defensemen (besides Muzzin) got hurt, the Kings would almost certainly Tiffany Co Usa put a player on long term injured reserve.
This is the calculated risk that the Kings took at the start of the season. They created a roster that put them almost to the salary cap ceiling, then hoped that they could stay relatively injury free for the first 33 days of the season. Technically, they're still OK, but they really need to avoid another injury.
