These days with Covid, I wouldn't think he would be out long enough to be on IR. Kinda makes me worried a bit. Hope its not something serious.
Yeah i didn't understand it either, but Eller is on IR, which means he just misses 7 Calendar days, and no other requirement, so i guess they figured he was missing 2-3 games before Christmas plus the break would give him 7 days to meet the IR requirement. Its already been 5 days (starting the 19th) so saying he will miss 3-4 more days isn't really that much. I figure they put him on IR so they could bring up someone just in case for the few games he misses.
(LTIR has a lot more requirments/retrictions, and he is not on LTIR)
I think (hope) if not for the holiday break timing they would not have put him on IR, but WTF knows.
Its just odd because i remember distinctly Carbs saying he will miss "some time" and that's a loaded statement in my mind.
3rd line looked okay and scored some goals in Ellers absence so that's good, but man they ARE a defensive liability without Eller. I think thats whey they rearranged the lines so much ...moving Radysh on the 3rd line to try and shore it up
Oh, and a player on IR can practice with the team, and go to meetings, etc while on IR - just can't play in a game for 7 days
