Sabres vs. Maple Leafs - Dec. 20th, 7:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

I have found it very common that the emergency part is overlooked by a lot of folks reporting these transactions.
Often, it is print media who note it - not the transaction itself.

For some teams maybe, not the Leafs. Again the LeafsPR tweets for Hildeby and Steeves earlier this season cleared stated they were emergency recalls. Ditto for Jones last season. I wouldn't say it's definitive that it's not an emergency recall but still odd for LeafsPR to not specify it.

If they were also up on an emergency recall, yeah, I believe so. If not, it's a little less clear - but, I still think it's legit.

I mean it benefits us so I hope so. I I guess the argument was that Murray would have gotten the callup but was coming back from injury himself so Hildeby was the fallback. Assuming Murray's glove isn't an issue it would be nice to not burn his 30 days by having Emergency callup protection because we shouldn't bank on either of Woll or Stolarz having a clean injury slate from now until Game 82.

The Leafs certainly seem to know the rule and how to exploit it. Hildeby is waivers exempt so I'm not sure what benefit it would have for him except maybe lay the foundation for Murray's transaction. We'll probably find out soon enough. The good news is we're going to get a look at Murray to see if he can help.
 
So there's been some things said here about recalls vs. emergency recalls and more specifically how they relate to waivers expiration. I'm going to reference something good ol' Capfriendly said back in 2021 about this:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1359602340039446532

Capfriendly almost certainly received clarification about this directly from a league source, as they had often done. The CBA wording on this is somewhat weird which led almost everyone to believe that there were completely separate clocks for regular vs. emergency recalls.

On regular recall you get 30 days or 10 games, whichever happens first, before a player who previously cleared waivers will require waivers again.

On emergency recall you get 10 games and there's no 30 days clock (for a back-up goalie recall like this that's very important). Games previously counted on regular recall do not count against the emergency recall clock. But games on the emergency recall clock do count against the regular recall clock.

This does make sense in practice too. If for whatever reason Murray had been on regular recall for 6 games earlier in the season and was sent back down the Leafs would still get the benefit of a full 10 game clock in the event he was recalled under emergency conditions. But they can't just use up his 10 games on emergency recall and be like well now we have 10 more games on regular recall. That sorta goes against Murray's rights as a waiver eligible player so it makes sense it's not how the rule actually works.
 
Another sign that civilization as we knew it is slipping away: we spend more time talking about roster management administrivia than the rosters themselves.

I don't hate the switch up, curious to see if the Benoit-McCabe pairing can pick up where it left off, but it brings up the same problem that Rielly-Tanev presented: can you still give Tanev the toughest match-ups/zone starts with a partner that isn't exactly super great defensively. OEL might be able to handle that better than Mo did but it's not exactly an ideal spot for him.

This was one of the articles on it from Pension Plan Puppets that misled

Understanding Emergency Recall vs Regular Recall

The Leafs have been dealing with injuries via emergency recalls. There’s a reason for that.
www.pensionplanpuppets.com www.pensionplanpuppets.com

I could not quickly find all the ones I looked at.

What you have posted makes sense.

I did stumble into this one

How emergency recalls work, and how they’ll see the Canucks through their current roster crisis

On Thursday, October 12, the Vancouver Canucks <a href="https://canuck...
canucksarmy.com canucksarmy.com
The key point he makes there is
"It’s also worth noting that emergency recalls are not swappable. So, it’s Studnicka for this current “roster emergency” until said emergency is over, or until a new emergency emerges. No matter how Studnicka plays, he’s it for the time being."

So if that is true, Leafs PR is accurate. Murray is not up on emergency recall because he cannot replace/swap with Hildeby on emergency recall. That little injury Murray in the AHL had messed that up.
Murray can therefore play 9 games without waivers. Woll can play 18 during that span - two for each one of Murray's.

There are 23 games until Feb 8th - the break for the 4 Nations until Feb 22. Stolarz should be back well before Feb 22. But Feb 8th is 51 days away. Murray can only spend 29 days in the NHL before having to clear waivers. So Murray and Hildeby will have to be going up and down between the Marlies & Leafs to help Murray avoid the 29 day limit.

If Woll gets hurt ... I guess we're seeing Hildeby and/or AA.

This article is actually talking about something a little bit different: roster emergency exceptions (sometimes described as REE). REE's are when a team is forced to play 1 game with less than a 20-man roster because of injury and cap reasons and are permitted to call up a player at a $0 cap hit for a period of time afterward. So that article is saying you can't swap call-ups in those situations. But that's not what the Leafs are doing here.

Whether you can swap an emergency recall for another emergency recall is genuinely beyond me. I haven't see anything to really suggest you can or can't. My guess is... possibly not.

Berube was shifting to these pairings during the Dallas game
Rielly may find himself with reduced ice time on the 5-6 pairing with Timmins
Benoit appears to have been playing better lately.
OEL, Tanev & McCabe got 22 mins against Dallas, Rielly 18 mins, Benoit & Timmins less.

His claim was more sweeping
"It’s also worth noting that emergency recalls are not swappable. "
Period. He did not specify the rule had to apply to a skater or didn't apply to a goalie.
We have Leafs PR calling up Murray without labeling it an emergency recall. For the days limitation, it would be to the Leafs advantage if Murray could have been an emergency recall without days limitation - just games played.

Over the next 4-6 weeks, Hildeby and Murray will probably be jack-in-the-boxes if Murray plays well.

The entire article is about REE's though and he's using the term "emergency recall" to describe them even though he shouldn't. They are two different things.

Again the point that emergency recalls are not swappable could be true but he doesn't do anything in the article to actually say that. He means REE's are not swappable. It's a poorly worded article/thought on his part.
 
Emergency conditions shall be established when the playing strength of
the Loaning Club, by reason of incapacitating injury or illness or by
League suspension to its Players is reduced below the level of two (2)
goalkeepers, six (6) defensemen and twelve (12) forwards. Proof of the
existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be
furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him.

This is the relevant part of the CBA for emergency recalls. The Leafs were able to recall Hildeby under emergency conditions because at the time Stolarz's injury reduced the roster below 2 goalies. If they voluntarily send Hildeby back down is the roster technically below 2 goalies because of a roster transaction of their doing or still because of an injury? Honestly who knows, the CBA doesn't exactly spell that out anywhere. It'll be a league discretion thing probably. I think the Leafs would have a good case to argue Hildeby was only recalled at the time because Murray was hurt. We'll surely find out one way or another eventually I guess.

The title of the article is "How emergency recalls work ..."
The term "emergency recall" occurs 27 times in the article.
It occurs 15 times in the CBA
The general theme involved with Emergency Recall is the number of players on the roster, etc

"REE" never occurs in the article
"Roster Emergency Exception." appears once in the article in a quote from the CBA but that quote is not exclusive not does it limit the article from the other aspects of emergency recalls the article as titled covers.
"Roster Emergency Exception" occurs 6 times in the CBA
The general theme of "Roster Emergency Exception" is the dollars and cents - financial stuff related to emergency recall

In the article, he addresses both the financial implications and the roster limitations/rules
The article, like the CBA, is not limited to "Roster Emergency Exception"

This is my thinking too, the Leafs could argue that Murray was to be the emergency recall but was also injured at the time.

At the end of the day, given the history of the 3 goalies in question, it's more likely than not that one of Murray or Woll gets hurt before or when Stolarz gets back so there won't be any waiver issue.
