Players can only be put on LTIR if a doctor rules them out for at least 24 days. If Calvert is day-to-day or week-to-week it's unlikely that the NHL (or rather, the NHLPA) would approve of him being put on LTIR.
As for your comment about replacing the strength coaches, the injuries this team is suffering aren't muscular injuries, so blaming the physio's isn't really valid. Bellemare hurt his knee in a collision; Toews got hit in the foot with a puck; Calvert got hit in the head with a puck and has history with concussions; and Johnson hit his face in the ice and likely has a concussion. None of those are down to bad training. We don't know what's wrong with Francouz or Mackinnon but Francouz had hip surgery and Mackinnon seemed to be moving fine all game yesterday so they don't seem to be muscle related injuries either.
