Stars Rule Tyler Seguin Out for Season to Unlock Full LTIR Relief

The season-ending designation unlocks full LTIR relief under expedited cap rules to create room for deadline additions.

Overview

  • Dallas filed paperwork declaring Tyler Seguin out for the regular season and playoffs, according to league-confirmed reporting.
  • The move enables use of his full $9.85 million cap hit, adding roughly $6 million to the $3.82 million already available ahead of the March 6 trade deadline.
  • Under the updated CBA rules, teams must rule a player out for both the regular season and playoffs to access full LTIR relief.
  • The transaction requires NHL and NHLPA approval before the additional cap space fully takes effect.
  • Reporters have linked Dallas to potential targets, including Evander Kane and Nazem Kadri, with Steven Stamkos reportedly open to waiving his clause for a trade to the Stars.
