OK..just talked to Mike (Preds) - the intent was 12AM is start of the day....so IR opens at 12:00am tomorrow (Tuesday August 28th)....then later the same day 11:59pm August 28th, declarations are due.

So while if you sign a player who is injured before IR opens, you have to carry his salary and have room to sign him. But you can IR him before declarations open up, which allows movement with rookies I suppose...or more signings in last week before regular season starts...

Hopefully this did not mess anyone up...
