Injury Report: 2024-2025 Injury thread | HF’s Longest Thread Just Got Longer

[AvsMakar08]

Today is the day I expected him to be coming back… seems I am off :/

Avs might be over salary cap if they have Landy play now. I think we have to wait until like late December or January for him to start playing and be cap compliant.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Haha why are people clamoring after kahkonen. Dude sucked. Acting like he was the savior we let slip through our fingers. He brought nothing we don't already have two of.

Does "icing broken foot" mean he's still a good month away?

Soooooo ... which one is it?

We'll see.

Soooooo ... which one is it?

Georgiev is starting being good news of bad news?

Depends where he’s starting

Georgiev is starting being good news of bad news?

Should we ask the expert @Bear of Bad News ?

 

[Cypher]

Interesting they activated Georgiev and sent down Tynan instead of Mandolese.

Must mean Georgiev will be traded after the game, and in-case Blackwood doesn't arrive in time for next game, they still have 2 goalies.

The update for Lebrun should be: There are no updates with this team.

The update will be he's playing next game or he's retiring.

Hopefully just a minor setback/cap problems.

 

[Mighty Makar]

He can come back all he wants, but he’s done.

 

[Foppa2118]

Maybe it means they think ice makes bones heal quicker and that's why Bedsy's injury timelines are always off.

 

[Metallo]

Landy is coming 100%. Maybe only for a swan song single game if the Avs face an elimination game, but he's coming back.

"The initial timeline when he had that surgery was 12-16 months. Last week marked the 18th month timeline. He still hasn't resumed normal hockey activities."

How can it be a "minor" setback? We're 2 months past the worst case scenario ( which was 16 months) and he's nowhere near close to be ready.

If it was minor he'd have started playing last month.

Guys like Georgiev are in their 3rd season and have never played a game with Gabe or a captain, period, on the ice.

They must be like wtf is this

I mean... that's not really coming back.

It's time to move on.

It's all relative. A "minor" setback after a career threatening experimental cartilage transplant surgery could be a couple months. He's skating now again.

Or as I alluded to, they might not have the cap to activate him yet, so they're not rushing his return.

The worst case scenario was retirement. The 12-16 months was always a guesstimate. This was a procedure that no one else in hockey has ever had or attempted to come back from. There was and is no book on how it would work. Landy is the book.

I still wonder if it is all finally a cap ploy. Even if he is healthy they still have to make it look like things are not ready till they have cap space. Hell I still say depending on how the season goes they need to make that happen till the playoffs so they can add at the deadline.

Very well could be.

He's way too rusty for that. The sooner he starts the higher the chance to be able to play at the NHL level again.

 

[Balthazar]

The worst case scenario was retirement.

Outside of playing like a 7M AAV forward again that was the absolute best case scenario.

Worst case was living with uncertainty for years and preventing the team to have a new captain and to move on.

Lol what. Wonder if it's the same injury that had him out before.
