Just buys Kenny and Mike more time to showcase Gus and Tatar so they can trade them. Nobody keeps Daniel out of the top 9!

 

[Shoalzie]

Well, isn't that convenient...who is the next guy to get "injured at practice"?

Knowing Eaves, there is no fabrication here.

and the 2-4 weeks will become 2-4 months

So Kenny doesn't need to make any moves now..

 

[mindfly]

They make it so easy for KH, make him sweat a bit atleast, dammit.

 

[Mister Ed]

So Kenny doesn't need to make any moves now..

Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Abdelkader
Franzen - Weiss - Alfredsson
Tatar - Andersson - Nyquist
Miller - Emmerton - Tootoo

Helm, Eaves on IR
Bertuzzi, Samuelsson, Cleary subbing wherever needed. And probably (which I hate) means that Nyquist starts in GR.

Even when healthy, I don't see eaves dressing.

 

[BinCookin]

Can you put someone on IR on waivers???

could this block a waiver move that was gonna happen?

If they put him on LTIR now they can just waive him once healthy, I guess, if that was the initial plan.

Yeah right. Cleary will be on that second line. Mule to the 3rd. Nyquist and GR and Tats in the press box.

 

[Heaton]

No he won't.

 

[Henkka]

Short-term injuries do not solve that forward logjam anywhere. They still have to be moved somewhere, when they are back healthy.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

No he won't.

Why wouldn't he?

 

[Heaton]

Why wouldn't he?

When has he ever bumped Franzen off of a line?

 

[JPE123]

Yep and I always liked Eaves. Early on, I thought he was going to have a solid career but this past couple years have been brutal for him

I'm just worried when Helm, Bert and Sammy are all healthy

No, you can't waive a player on IR.

If they put him on LTIR now they can just waive him once healthy, I guess, if that was the initial plan.

They cannot put him on LTIR until he's a bonafide longterm injury candidate... which is 10 games and 24 days or something like that. It can be applied retroactively.

That isn't going to happen.

 

[sepster]

There's one... one open roster spot, ah, ah, ah

The 24 days include training camp time as long as he's listed as "injured," right? Figure that's how a guy like Pronger can be put on LTIR from day one of the regular season to make Philly cap compliant.

Nope. Training camp time does not have any effect. Day 1 of the season is when the counting will start. That's the day when he is put on LTIR, if he is put on LTIR. That's when the player caphits per day etc, the whole cap system counting will start.

If you put him to LTIR, he has to be on that situation at least those 24 days or 10 games even if he is healthy before end of that time period.

 

[joe89]

Depends if you count healthy as physically being able to train or being ready for NHL games, I guess. I don't think we'll see Eaves the first 10 games of the season, which is October 21.

Ultimately I don't think Holland will count on the LTIR to deal with his roster glut. Tootoo, Bert or Sammy must go. Maybe two.

Bert and Sammy arent going anywhere, how hard is it to understand? Both are also healthy. They will not be trade or waived. Our organizational respect against veterans (+35 contracts and NTCs) seal that.

Emmerton
Tootoo
Eaves

Those are the unneeded guys. Emmerton is needed is Helm is never healthy. Other two, not at all.
