Clarkson and Depres might get the 60 game injury/career ending injury exception. Sounds like both are seriously injured:
Quote:

* Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 60 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) may not be used to satisfy a club's player exposure requirements, unless approval is received from the NHL. Such players also may be deemed exempt from selection by the League.

and FWIW Hartnell said he won't waive his NMC any longer and wants to finish his career in Columbus.
