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

[expatriatedtexan]

I'm really not worried about the first 20 games. The cup favorites usually do well, but the bottom 80-85% of the league is usually all over the place. That's why GMs used to wait 20 games before making a move. Now they just don't make a move until the deadline.

Anyways, I figure they'll be enough teams struggling and trying different things that the sheer talent of MacKinnon, Rantanen, Makar with the contributions of Toews, Mitts, Lehky when ready, and the NFGs that we should be in the mix of the top three in division until Landy and/or Nuke get added.

Our core should be capable of leading an AHL team to the playoffs. I'm not saying they should win anything once there, but MacKinnon, Makar and Rants are capable of taking a team much further than you'd think.

I hope he's not Nuke sick.

Didn’t Wood get sick often last season? The dude needs to work on his immune system

No chance.

With his unkempt hair and missing teeth Wood looks like a character from Revenge of the Nerds who got written out because they couldn't decide which side he was on.

 

[Avs9296]

This means Colton is about to get sick too.

They need to keep their tongues to themselves.

I think he's on Arkansas' side.

You know the toothbrush was actually invented in Arkansas.







If it had been invented anywhere else it would have been called the teethbrush.

Has lehkonen started taking contact yet?

He's a mouth breather so his odds are greater of taking something in. I bet he's eaten a lot of bugs and not even noticed.

Wood has 1 brain cell and one white blood cell to his name, apparently

It just occured to me - Landeskog has achieved the penultimate injury status for a player the Avs can give - out year to year.
There's only one more level available - out life to life. Although this one has only been hypothesized, I'm somewhat positive it may involve Sakic and/or snowblower...

 

[EXTRAS]

Has lehkonen started fully practicing yet?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Dont think so. Might not be a bad late round pick for your fantasy team though.

Bednar will not allow Landy to skip out on B2B's and will expect him to play 28 minutes a night while reuniting the 9296 line. Tough shit Landy.

That's cute...you think they'll get less than 30 minutes a night.

Drouin actually has north of +$35M of career earnings.

How do you equate giving Rantanen a $3M raise to "losing, LOC + Drouin + Mitts + Lehky"???

Without Drouin and Georgiev - and before raises for Brännström and Kovalenko (Rants is given 12.5 in the example below) we arrive at 88.5. 3 million up to cap if it is 91.5.

And if either Girard or Colton is traded things are cool. Enter Drouin and a half decent goalie.

Landeskog $7,000,000
MacKinnon $12,600,000
Rantanen $12,500,000 (32.1)

Lehkonen $4,500,000
Mittelstadt $5,750,000
Nichushkin $6,125,000 (16.4)

Wood $2,500,000
Colton $4,000,000
O'Connor $2,500,000 (9.0)

Kelly $825,000
Ritchie $950,000
Kovalenko $896,250 + (2.6)

Makar $9,000,000
Toews $7,250,000
Girard $5,000,000
Manson $4,500,000
Brännstrom $900,000 +
Malinski $850,000 (27.6)

Annunen $850,000 (0.9)

Colton should be M-NTC so get rid of him after this season, if we still have Landy and Nuke at that point. Could also buyout at 1.3M hit.

Also important to point out again that the nature of planting your foot, and then quickly twisting and pivoting your body in basketball, is a lot tougher on the knee than skating, and probably even the hard stops and starts in hockey.

Also the size and weight of the men in basketball, especially with all the jumping, puts way more force on the knee than anything Gabe would do.

Apparently lehkonen being reevaluated at the end of october and will miss at least the next 11 games.

Very unfortunate, this was his year to establish himself in the AHL.

The injury curse lives on forever
