I said literally zero of those things

Ltir has nothing to do with the preseason or the 10% over the cap that a team can be during the offseason. During the season when a team against the cap puts a player on ltir the amount under the cap that the team is is subtracted from the ltir player's cap hit. This result is the amount over the cap the team is permitted to operate at. In our situation it is good business because kronwall has a well documented chronic injury tailor made for ltir so we can move his hit until he's gone and not have cap recapture penalty that we'd have if he retired prior to contract expiring. And buying out would keep a portion of cap hit against us for several more years.
