The #NHLBlues now find themselves in a very interesting situation with regards to their salary cap

They are currently projected at $1.175M over the ceiling with a roster of 21 (19S + 2G). However, they also have RFA Vince Dunn who is still unsigned.
If Steen is placed on off-season LTI, and no additional changes are made to the current roster, they would have roughly $4.575M in c/space to sign Dunn and any other roster moves they have in mind before the last day of camp.

However, unused space is lost once the season starts.
If however the club is able to temporarily shed the $1.175M before training camp ends, and still have a roster of at least 20 players (18S + 2G), then placing Steen on LTIR once the season begins would give them the full $5.75M which they could use for the rest of the season.
