TSN SIEGEL:
REIMER EXPECTS TO TAKE FULL PRACTICE IN DALLAS
http://www.tsn.ca/toronto/blogs/jonas_siegel/?id=381180
2. Mike Brown has missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old was reluctant to reveal the nature of his injury in conversation with the Leaf Report on Tuesday, but it seems likely to be related to a groin injury he played with during the second half of last season. Brown had minor surgery on the area in the summer, but struggled to recover. He began skating in early August, but was forced to pull back shortly thereafter. In training camp, the issue lingered and Brown was forced to miss the entire preseason, fortunate to play on opening night.
It would appear that the injury has resurfaced. Brown took part in the pre-game in Nashville, but was forced to pull out as a late scratch. He has not played since. In Tampa, he expressed frustration that the injury was not improving as he had hoped.
Dallas is statistically the top hitting club in the NHL (ignoring the home bias quality of those stats league wide). While trying to get out of their slump, they returned to pounding the Oilers with 47? hits following a 53? hit effort. Leafs could really miss Brown in Dallas.

Well that's potentially some good news.

"There's a possibility that Grabovski will be ready to play this Sunday in Anaheim," Wilson said.
"We're not going to rush someone back from that type of injury just because maybe a goaltender or two goalies have been struggling," he said. ( Wilson )
Jonas just can't catch a break, though that's the first time I've seen him include, maybe, Scrivens in that equation...

I know, that 1.00 GAA his last two games, talk about fighting the puck.

Looks like Reimer is still a couple of weeks away. 
DALLAS ? James Reimer will remain out at least another ten days.

Not necessarily, I would think that's obvious. Goalies are a little different and the team could quickly suffer if Reimer needs some time to re adjust, it's just a safer way for him to get his game timing back but it's not the only way to go either. It wasn't presented as a catch all course, rather of horse if you get my drift.
I don't think it could really hurt, fwiw, even just a game or two.

Well, with goalies, yeah, a game or two on a conditioning stint is probably a good idea. You don't have the luxury of easing a goalie back in the same way you do with a skater. You can't start him out on a lower line or cut back on his shifts. Once you throw a goalie on to the ice for an NHL game, you have to know they're able to go the distance.

No, I didn't say that.
Firstly, the player must agree to it.
Secondly, the league must agree that the team isn't circumventing the CBA - which they clearly aren't in Reimer's case.
I'm fuzzy on this but I think even a player who has sat in the press box for a long time could go on a conditioning stint if he agrees to it.
They'd still receive their NHL money (stated for those on 2-way deals).
Reimer, because he's been off as long as he has, is definitely eligible and I'd be shocked if the league turned such a request down. It is often in the best interest of the health of the player - if the player is agreeable.
