The players who would rather sit at home and not play are likely to be extremely rare in the NHL.

He just happened to go on LTIR the day before Eichel was ready to go?
If he is back for game one of the playoffs its obvious they are using nagging injuries to game the system
If Stone gets a back surgery and is out until next year I will retract but I highly doubt it
