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

They’re using it right now, at least partially.
Mostly because we have a shitload of injuries, carry 3 goalies, etc.

At the beginning of the season we kept enough cap space for Landy and Nuke to eventually come back.
 
Do people not realize that Landy's LTIR is pretty much already at play? The Avs are currently around 81-82m in cap hit on a daily basis (meaning that with Landy they are already over). It moves a bit here or there, but generally around that realm. When Nuke comes back, his daily rate gets added right back to it. So the Avs daily rate will be right back against the cap. Now there was some savings from the beginning of the season until now, but that has been limited since the Avs have carried 3G and having to utilize more players without utilizing LTIR and just standard IR. This is where Poolman's LTIR has come in. He's kept them from overages and allowed movement, but very little accrual even sans Nuke. When Nuke comes back, Landy's LTIR is in play from that point forward to keep the team cap compliant.
I don't actually know what the salary cap is, much less what our wage bill is.

We most certainly did not. It can be made to work, but not without some movement.

I want to live in your world.

I remember a bunch of people here did the math and it worked. CMac himself said they had to make sure to have room for Nuke and Landy and that was a challenge.

Do the math on it now and you'll see it doesn't work.

Landy and Nuke back on this roster and active pushes the daily rate to about 95.5m. Avs are running a lot of extras, so that plays into it... but take them out. Tynan, Wag, Prish, and Ivan total to 3.2m. Ludvig pushes that to 4m. Kahkonen to 5m. The Avs are STILL at ~90m in daily rate. Which will exceed what they have accrued (which is minimal since Poolman's LTIR is being utilized now and can't be extended because the Avs won't get cap compliant without it to reset).

There is a simply fix to it... pay someone to take Georgiev, but then they are running an Annunen and Kahkonen combo and kinda set on it.

Yeah I know. I was merely pointing out that currently, Landeskog isn’t hampering us from using the cap space. The poster made it seem like landeskog is stopping us from spending.
 
Georgie's starting against the 12-1 Winnipeg Jets? lol. Why even fly there?
I think that's the whole point. This team is still very injured, and the Jets are on a heater. Why put Annunen or Kähkönen out there for a potential slaughter, when you can throw Georgiev to the wolves? And if he plays well, great.
 

The defenseman left a 6-3 win against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday with a lower-body injury after taking one shift in the third period.

"He's OK. He's making the trip," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday. "Wants to see if he's feeling good enough to go tomorrow."

Captain Gabriel Landeskog still doesn't have a timeline to return from cartilage transplant surgery in his right knee that he had May 10, 2023.

"I don't know if you can call it [a setback]. That's what I said on [Altitude Sports Radio this morning]," Bednar said. "I think there's ups and downs throughout the course of his rehab, especially now, when he's feeling better and getting closer to play. He's pushing himself into different areas, and sometimes he reacts well and moves on to the next thing, and then the next thing might not feel great for him. … And so right now, he's continuing his work and in the gym every day, and he'll get back on the ice soon."
 
found this comment on reddit and I def agree:

"Just going off what we’ve seen on video the last two years, we haven’t seen him accelerate once at a full clip. It’s all gliding. This is the NHL. If we’re not even getting videos of him cutting, stopping, chasing at even 80%, how is he even supposed to be expected to come back at all?"

when i saw the same gliding exercises earlier this fall I was disappointed you'd think gearing up for a return would include sprints to some degree.

not looking good thats for sure
