Either he will eichel will be ready just in time for playoffs or, more likely, they will place 2-3 guys on LTIR when he is ready to return during the regular season and those players will be re-activated right when playoffs start.

For sure they will try to organize that. When asked what they would do, McPhee even said that they don’t expect to be fully healthy at that point. There are always players that are banged up and could use rest down the stretch. Won’t be too difficult to find star players that could use the rest and find medical justification for it. It doesn’t seem like the NHL polices the LTIR system that hard. Everyone knows Kucherov was ready to go before the playoffs and they didn’t have to activate him right away for example.
