EDGE Analysis

The move, made in agreement with the NHLPA, prevents teams from using their LTIR players in order to reach the minimum exposure requirements. Super Duper has already announced his retirement due to blood clots and will no doubt go down as one of the most beloved Penguins in recent memory. In addition to Dupuis, the league's exempt list also includes Dave Bolland, Craig Cunningham, Chris Pronger, Cody McCormick, David Clarkson, Joe Vitale, Ryane Clowe, Mikhail Grabovski, Nathan Horton, and Stephane Robidas.
