The LTIR (Long Term Injured Reserve) is known for two things. First where injured star players go to have their cap hit does not count against the cap, a move used by many teams. Second and more drastically, the place where older players finish out their careers following a tough injury.

With Lucic on the LTIR, there is a chance he has already played his final game. However, if he is able to recover he will be able to play with the Bruins again and try to help lead them back to a Stanley Cup.
