Injury Updates 2016/17 Season

[nfreeman]

Have the Sabres called up a defenseman from Rochester?  Who would it be, anyway?

[WildCard]

Welcome to The Bunker!

It's nice and cozy in here. You should come check out the Kane and Byslma bunkers too

Nope, Nelson was with the team in Minnesota. Falk is probably the guy they'd bring from Rochester, that may be wrong though.

 

God help us if another defenseman gets hurt

[TrueBlueGED]

But Bogosian's career history shows that he misses more games per year than Myers. On top of that, he makes about $1.5-3 million less per year over the length of his contract than Bogo. I want to like him, but the dude needs to stay healthy and play like a top-2 defenseman in order to justify that contract.

Not sure where you got your cap figures from, but Bogo is actually a few hundred thousand cheaper than Myers annually. Regardless, it's too much for what he brings even without the injuries.

Not even God is that powerful.

It's like deja vu all over again.

[LGR4GM]

God help us if anyone else gets hurt. We still need another year or two of good prospect development to get some depth in the Org.

Hamilton just tweeted that Kane is going to try out taking contact this week, and, depending how that goes, he may be back within a week or so. Sounds optimistic to me.

I just took their annual salaries from nhlnumbers.com, though I understand there is a difference between cap hits and salaries.

GMTM was on GR and confirmed this. Kane said to Murray I can play tonight.

 

Eichel is on schedule in his recovery.

 

Guhle can be called up on an emergency recall per GMTM

Ah gotcha, I thought you were talking about cap hit. My bad.

Trouba (holdout)

D men in bold.

Bring up the kids and let them play!!!!!!!!

[Thorner]

I'm exceptionally interested to see how the Trouber (I think his name in a Boston accent, dunno why) situation unfolds.

If he doesn't sign by Dec 1, he can't play this season.

 

What does WPG need? Would they take Girgensons and Ennis for Toooba?

That sounds very optimistic. Part of me doesn't want him back yet.

:(

[WildCard]

So Thanksgiving. Better than all season I guess. Sounds like Kane comes back before that at least

Just some fun interjection here on my personal experience with multiple broken ribs.

 

 

 

 

The act of getting on a toilet in the seated position is a painful challenge, gravity was your friend.

 

Getting one's self up from that position takes all of your core muscles that are directly connected to one's ribs. Very painful indeed, almost as bad as sneezing.

 

I could force back a sneeze.

Even if it's Dec 1st that's still 55 games with him playing: DD mentioned how much he loves Jack's Patience in terms of coming back

[LGR4GM]

.@DarrenDreger on Eichel "My understanding it is going to be another 3 weeks or 4 weeks"

 

:(

Makes sense. Even if he can start practicing again next week it will take another few weeks to strengthen the leg and get him up to speed.

[WildCard]

I don't. He should be trying to come back every week. Kane may suck, but he hates being out and does everything he can to get back quickly

 

And here comes 50 posts telling me 'Jack does care. You don't know him! Leave him alone!' :D

Sorry, I laughed because you brought back some memories, what I remember most was sleeping on your stomach was NOT an option. Drugs were my friend trying to get to sleep on my back.

I am betting that Chevy does't blink first...having said that, I believe he signs before the Dec.1 deadline for two years.

[pi2000]

I have very little faith in the Pegula medical training staff. Whatever they're doing with the Bills is a complete disaster, unfortunately the Sabres aren't immune to their mismanagement of injuries.

 

That said, I expect Eichel back second or third week of December with a few setbacks into early Jan where he my need to sit out a few games before ultimately being placed on season ending IR.

Wow. Talk about worst case. Hopefully not pi.

You have such oddly specific predictions. Much better than reading real generic stuff that gets tweeted out by "hockey insiders" :P 

[K-9]

I don't. He should be trying to come back every week. Kane may suck, but he hates being out and does everything he can to get back quickly

Coming back from high ankle sprains are most often complicated by trying to come back too soon. It's bad enough that the injury will more than likely linger the entire season and Eichel will be at less than 100% as it is. Rushing him back would be the worst thing they can do. 

 

The assumption is Jack cares. Why wouldn't it be? I mean other than your own impatience with his injury?
