It's become a familiar story with several teams in the NHL over the issue of players who have been placed on long term injury reserve at a key moment just prior to the trade deadline. Tampa, Toronto and other have been accused of this but there has been one team in particular who has done it repeatedly.
As Elliotte Friedman reported duing his Saturday Headlines segment on HNIC, The Vegas Golden Knights are back in the spotlight again as they placed Mark Stone on LITR and were able to acquire Noah Hanifin, Tomas Hertl and Anthony Mantha to bolster their roster.
He states that a couple of managers are not in agreement of this tactic and feel more needs to be looked at. As stated in the tweet, since there are no rules to block teams from doing this, it's allowed to sit Stone till game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs where the salary cap does not come into effect.
