Could Brent Seabrook play for the Chicago Blackhawks again this season? Ask yourself that question again. It’s actually more possible than people might think. Seabrook is slated to be ready by the start of training camp, which is around late August 2020, but if the season is dragged out longer, Seabrook could fit right back in.

“If a player has an injury that will prevent him from playing for at least 10 NHL games and 24 days in the NHL season, the team may place him on Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR), which can be used to exceed the salary cap.
