Patrik Laine’s injury has major cap implications — but the Montreal Canadiens won’t be using LTIR, and we break down exactly why. In this episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico explain how Laine’s situation impacts the NHL cap landscape, what it means for Montreal’s flexibility, and why Kent Hughes is staying away from LTIR space this season.

We break down the Habs’ cap management strategy, the risks of using LTIR, and how the Canadiens are positioning themselves for future trades and long-term flexibility.
