Granberg recalled on emergency basis

[Faltorvo]

Emergency recalls are only allowed in the event of illness or injury. You can't make an emergency recall because of a trade.

but teams have been known to "injury/illness sit" guys a day or two before an imminent trade.

It would be dangerous to lie about that. When you make an emergency recall you have to give the league the name of the injured player and a description of their injury, and the league will verify it. Since players need to pass a physical to be traded, they would get caught red handed if they said a player was injured and can't play, and then they pass the physical.

I think only Lou Lamorello could get away with that type of stuff these days.

If it was for a Trade they would just sit the guy, they wouldn't play games.

Most likely someone caught the flu of some sort.

Reilly was run into the boards hard last night. Maybe stiffened up overnight.

"Flu" would be the safest reason to sit someone who was going to be traded. The whole team looked like it was suffering for long stretches last night. I've just got over an almost 2 week bout of it so it is going around.

What's odd is that earlier they were reporting that Phaneuf might return tonight so that would already make for 1 extra body on defense.

So recalling Granberg likely an indication that Dion will not dress tonight.

why are they using the "Emergency" term why couldn't they just do a normal recall? does that allow us to bring up an extra player? ie having 24 players on the NHL roster temporally?

But why carry an extra body at home?

Doesn't it mean they can be sent down after the emergency is over without clearing waivers?

I dunno that's why I asked but Granberg doesn't need to clear waivers, I've seen it to bring up a player for 1 game whose playing in Junior like we did with Kadri and I understand why that would be "Emergency" recall but why would someone from the AHL be an Emergency recall and not a normal recall

Cody Franson was limping pretty good after the game last night. Have to think he's the D in question to play tonight.

Dion Phaneuf has been placed on the IR retroactive to January 21. ‪#‎TMLtalk‬

He's turning all Lupul on us. When did he sustain the hand injury? Was it in that scrap with Michalek?

I believe an emergency callup is one that allows you to go over the cap temporarily because you don't have enough skaters to ice a full roster for a game due to minor injuries. As a result these players have to fufill a certain AAV requirement which is very close to the league minamum which is why you often see lower prospects as emergency recalls because the better prospects AAV would be too high.

That's how I think it worked the last time I looked at the emergency recall rules sometime last year.

That's what he said himself.
