Luckily, looking at the replay it didn’t look like the knee got hyper extended or twisted much. Looks like blunt trama. Bruising/Charlie horse would be the best case scenario.
Since we are going into rebuild/retool mode soon.
What is the realistic eta for Emery and Fortescue?
Is there any chance either sign this spring?

We aren't going into rebuild mode.
There will be some moves to replace the rotten core though.
Neither Emery or Fortescue will sign this spring. (ok maybe Fort has a 10%, Emery 0%)
Well i know we need defensemen and these are our top 2 d prospects. I just dont know how close they are to NHL ready.
We need 2-3 dmen in the near future most likely.

I would say best case for Fortescue is he signs after next season and then spends a whole year in the AHL before being ready for a cup.
Emery is probably four years out. He has some great tools but there's still a lot he needs to work on.
Of course if they actually blew it all up, which I don't think they will, then you could see the kids earlier. But in general think 3-4 years IMO.

Thankfully we have Mancini who is looking like one.
Fox, Miller, Mancini, Jones for now. Hopefully we can grab a good young LD from a Kreider trade, and another from a Trouba/Lindgren trade.
Fort and Emery are longer term projects. I don't expect them in the NHL for 2-4 years truthfully.

Dont we basically need to sign him after next season since he will be a junior?
I wouldnt want him going to be a senior and having the right to walk away from us for nothing.

We've got time. Even if he does go back for his senior year, that doesn't mean he won't sign with us. Hagelin spent 4 years at Michigan and still signed with us.
Yeah I wouldn't worry about him not signing. Guys don't walk away from us. Wall was another four-year guy people feared would walk. There was also a huge, irrational amount of fear that Kreider would leave after his junior year and sign with Boston.
