Thought it might be useful to have a thread dedicated to injury updates and timetables. There are so many this year it's hard to keep up with everyone.
Anyway, is there an update on Carrier?

Have not heard anything yet, but Olivier was sent to taxi squad so I wonder who’s back. Joey was playing through some pain last night to so hopefully we don’t lose him tooThought it might be useful to have a thread dedicated to injury updates and timetables.

Farrance time?
Kid's been very impressive. If nothing else hopefully this keeps him off Seattle's radar a bit.Carrier being out is a major loss. He was the epitome of “next man up”.

Number of games has nothing to do with eligibility, it's based on age/draft year.Carrier has played 20 NHL games.
Don't you need 40 games or so this season to qualify for the expansion draft?

Each team has to expose 2 forwards, 1 defensemen, and 1 goalie that fit within a certain criteria. Carrier will be exposed if he isn't protected. He just won't count towards meeting those requirements meaning that 1 of Benning/Borowiecki will have to be exposed in order for Nashville to fulfill the requirements set forth by the NHL for the expansion draft. Since we weren't going to protect either of those two we're covered but Seattle can pick any of those players listed by BigFatCat999 above that are not protected. Due to Carrier only having played 20 NHL games in his career, I doubt that he'll be selected. Odds are someone like Sissons gets picked if we go 4 4 1

Jarnkrok and cousins only have a year left on contract though. Seems risky for them to me but Jarnkrok would be a solid add for themSeattle doesn’t touch Sissons. They’re analytically-driven front office and Sissons isn’t exactly a Corsi-god. They will look into Jarnkrok or Cousins first. Maybe Duchene assuming Poile will do the right thing and leave him exposed. Now is the time to get rid of him.
So I’m still confused. Will Carrier be exposed if he doesn’t play in 12 more games? If GR doesn’t matter, why does Cap Friendly not have him checked as eligible?
Has something to do with age. I think the first year of his contract didn’t count because he didn’t get enough pro games in (ahl or nhl)..... and why isn’t Eeli eligible? He’ll have played 3 years at the pro level and he’ll be 22? He’s listed as exempt.
