Z Williams can be added to the eligibility list but he can’t be added as the Rangers already have two on the LTI list - a grand total of four on the LTI / eligibility list for the Rangers…. (with one being traded….)
Our cut off point needs to be where we can definitely know the outcome of the injury, allow sufficient time to put on the LTI list and allow trades to occur. Then run a draft.
An injury in round 9 doesn't really allow all that to occur for all players, so our cut might for logistics purposes be injuries which occur before round 9.
Williams has his scans back and determination made. Other injuries might not be able to be assessed in such a short time frame, with them needing to visit a surgeon and decide on the best course of action.
