Pavel Francouz to LTIR, but for how long?
Pavel Francouz was put on Long Term Injured Reserve today and that’s just not good, no matter how you slice it.
The Avs now can spend Francouz’s $2 million cap hit over and above the $81.5 million NHL cap ceiling – and their noses are just about scraping the ceiling as it is. But spend it on what? It’s a really bad market right now for buyers when it comes to available goalies. Trades involving goalies – decent, proven goalies – are very hard to make.
