If Marner is on IR, how long does he have to sit out?
It's minimum 7 days. So basically until at least tomorrow.
Thank ****ing god.
I think this means the end of Ben Smith.
But this also means Marner is out until at least Thursday.
More likely is that Gauthier will be a healthy scratch while Ben Smith continues to play.
Hope he sticks. Please place Ben Smith on waivers now... Hopefully someone will claim him! Lol
Best to keep Marner out until he is absolutely 100%. Don't want to risk re-injury and an even longer period out of the lineup.
Ben Smith needs 2 more games to be expansion eligible. You then sign him to a 1 year extension just under the cap amount to be able to send him to the Marlies next year.
So 2 more games of him being in the line up then move and hold him and Kalinin for expansion fodder.
For what it's worth, Gauthier sat out yesterdays Marlies game due to 'personal reasons'. Might have been to keep him fresh for tonight.
