Depends on Montreal, if he's effective at 38-40 they'll tell him to play, if he's not then they'll tell him to retire as montreal doesn't care

Look at what happened with Pronger. He hasn't suited up for 4 years and is still on LTIR and he's basically retired, but is still able to collect a paycheck because he hasn't retired. Arizona traded for Pronger's contract last year to help them get to the salary cap floor. Pronger will officially retire when his contract ends after this upcoming season. It's a win win for both parties.
It's salary cap circumvention imo, but no one says anything about it though.
Let the shopping commence!

Pronger is different, he has a legitimate case of Post Concussion syndrome and has constant headaches and has not been medically cleared by anyone even in the slightest to be able to resume hockey activities, plus with LTIR you have to get tested ~1 a year min iirc and prove that the injury still exists through a physical, granted it could be faked but something would have to seriously happen to Weber, even then LTIR is the best thing the Preds hope for as if he doesn't retire there's no recapture against them
Teams use LTIR for bogus injuries all the time to circumvent the cap.
God dam Matthews.
He's a good player, I just wish Toronto didn't get him
Better Toronto than Edmonton imo. Kinda shocked Babcock is letting him play in the NHL considering how much Babs wasn't a fan of the young guy here in Detroit.

The NHL rigged the draft lottery for Toronto & let them tank too. The trades near the deadline were crap and the NHL allowed them. 
Montreal tonight 
Already down 10-0
@Sunshiine you're not a habs fan eh? 
Also @toodarnhot may be watching for the lolz 
I haven't been following hockey much this year, I've been working during all the games. But hearing that score made my heart hurt. 
My sister is a habs fan i've been laughing at her for 10 minutes now
From Reddit:
QuoteFun fact: Columbus has scored more goals in 50:45 of game time tonight vs Montreal than Vancouver has in their last 8 games
I love the Habs, but I also know they'll always disappoint me. 
@Limerlight No I'm not a hockey fan but yesterday's match was just sad ...
The Nucks x Leafs game was wild.
A dead last in the league finish is incoming and they'll end up with the 3rd overall pick too.
Probably the Canucks highlight of the year.
The Las Vegas Golden Knights
