One possibility

Doesn't have to be a injury. Someone can be sick and they don't know if he will be ready for game time.

By the rules, it has to be an event for which the team can provide the NHL evidence of inability to play if requested.

Hope they pay Nic Roy's phone bill this season.

Ah ha

Ah ha

Still doesn't explain which forward will be unavailable to play, which made it eligible for an emergency call up in the first place.

Which means injury, sickness, family death etc. as long as it's legit.

This tweet doesn't make sense to me.

A. If they wanted Pirri, they could have called up Pirri and it still would have been an emergency. No need to call Roy and swap him.

B. If they didn't call someone up yesterday and still needed someone today they would still only have 11 forwards and it would still be an emergency.

I don't know how the tweet clarifies at all why Roy had to be the one called up, unless they are planning on playing him and he was who they wanted to call up.

GM meeting this weekend, isn't it?

Maybe they are staging things just in case a trade happens....

Roy called up saturday or sunday over under odds?

The only players we could trade are our top six, as they are the only players making money. And I can't see us trading any of them.

I honestly expect an overpay in prospects/picks for a player with a year left on their contract as a hockey trade at the deadline.
