Whats the deal with IR and the reasons for putting a player or not putting a player on it?

Never understood if you know a player will be out a certain amount of time why they don't put said player on IR.

This is not all, and it would take me too long time to explain in English...

"2) A player who has an injury that renders him physically unable to play for a minimum of seven days after that date of the injury can be placed on the Club's Injured Reserve List. Once a player is placed on the list, the Club may replace said player on its NHL roster with another player."

Ok, so then whats the point of not putting a player on IR if you know he will be out for more than 7 days. Seems pretty simple.

But seriously, why hold up a roster spot for a player you know won't be back for at least 7 days. Obviously I'm missing something.... which is not surprising.

It's OK, I just almost had a mini-stroke because if they went into a break that large on a bad note we would be hitting 2000 posts per thread and the suicide level would be high.
