You're implying that they knew in advance exactly when those players would be ready to return, when at the time of the Eichel trade,
most of those injuries had not even happened yet. Prescience indeed!
As other posters have pointed out, Martinez could have been activated at any time in the last two weeks, just by moving another player from IR to LTIR. He wasn't, which should be sufficient evidence that he was returned as soon as he was ready. I don't think the Knights kept him out of the lineup just for giggles, do you?
