Gulutzan said Seguin “is going to be out a significant amount to time, probably the rest of the season.” https://t.co/juUTVUVYXH

NHL players on an active contract receive their full salary even after medical retirement, but players who voluntarily retire forfeit any remaining salary and bonuses. However, players who retire due to injury can remain on Long Term Injured Reserve (LTIR) to continue receiving their salary until their contract expires. Medical retirement eligibility is based on the pension plan, with benefits increasing based on games played and age.
Quote:
This season, the league introduced a new designation called season-ending long-term injured reserve. If a player is placed on SELTIR, meaning he will miss the rest of the regular season and the playoffs, the team can receive LTIR relief up to the player's full cap hit, as they've been able to do in the past.
However, if the player may return later in the regular season or the playoffs, the LTIR benefit is limited to the previous season's average league salary, which was $3,817,293.
If Seguin were placed on LTIR today, the Stars would receive $3,817,293 in additional immediate relief. If he were designated for SELTIR, they would receive his full $9.85 million.
It's also worth noting that teams now have to be cap compliant in the playoffs. In the past, there was no salary cap in the postseason, so many teams would capitalize on the LTIR pool at the trade deadline and then bring back their injured players as well at the start of the playoffs.
