I'll never understand Bednar's love for Toews on the PP. I would play both Byram and Girard over him on PP1.
Feel like Clurman is either going to break camp with the team or be the first call up.

OK, that's pretty funny.He's kinda been hurt his whole career.
But seriously, outside of the obvious bad ones, what injury lingers for 5 months? Did he not get treatment on the damn thing after the season?

Toews is a more refined PP QB at this point. Smoother, quicker decisions, better decisions, more accurate shot.... it makes sense. I'd like to see Byram get more runs in the preseason to get more reps and PP2 QB duties at times in the regular season to work on it. I think he has more upside than Toews in that roles, but it just isn't there quite yet.

This is a pure guess... but my first thought is a hip injury where they don't want to open up the joint. Like a fairly severe labral tear, but went the route of rest vs surgery.

I have a partial labral tear in my hip.
Rest hasn’t fixed it. As soon as I start to stress it, it’ll be pain comes back.
I already can no longer play as a goaltender or the risk of full tear is high.

Yup... the tear there doesn't really go away so much as the body gets used to it and eventually if you stress it enough it will require surgery eventually. If that is the case, they are just delaying the inevitable.
****Again, just a pure guess on his injury. Not saying that is the case***
took me over a year for a partial meniscus tear but eventually pretty much good as new, after I went to the doctor and they fed the bullshit I just went the way of fixing it myself which is pretty much what you have to do in Canada anyways.
Makar is a thorough-bred race horse. Outstanding physically and mentally. But fragile.
Must be 100% to perform to highest standard.

It seems Bednar is dead set on starting the season with MacKinnon and Rantanen together. I don't like it.

Makar just needs to play through this injury for another 12 years or so.
Almost there.
Almost there.

That's Calgary's problem in four years.

Makar will run to Calgary as soon as possible, Byram to Vancouver, who else we got? MacKinnon resisted the urge to run to Pittsburgh.

There is never a bad time to start freaking out as an Avs fan. It’s almost an obligation
We don't know behind the story with Makar, but it seems Avs dropped the ball. He had an entire offseason to get healthy and he came back to camp with the same nagging injury. That's incompetence.
