Best 4th line since 2014? It was also pretty good in 2022.

Only a matter of time this would come back to bite us.

Jk

Yikes who takes his place now?

Damn this sucks. One of the best 4th liners in recent memory. Glad we have someone like Vesey who could probably be a regular 4th liner on most teams.

 

[Ruggs225]

Wow thats a big blow. What happened?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Did they ever show a replay of what happened to him ?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Bummer, not an insignificant loss. Hope he can be back at full strength next year.

 

[will1066]

Hard to see anything happened on that replay. @GoAwayPanarin thoughts?

Groin concussion.

But this has broken heel written all over it if this is where he got hurt

 

[bhamill]

10 weeks or more sounds about right for a broken foot and getting back in shape.

When looking back at last year's playoffs Edstrom might have been a good 4th liner at least against the Panthers. Size, strength, skating and sometimes during this season he's made plays at the blu line to get past defenders for breakaways or two on ones. With the Panthers always using their D to pressure the puck down from the points Edstrom might have been very useful to us in that way but also in a physical way. It's not like he throws tons of hits but he's been able to use his size to control play along the boards and in the corners and his skating is very good as well. Ten weeks from now will be somewhere around the middle of April.

If things happening the opposite of what I say were a thing Shesterkin would be Hasek.

 

[nyr2k2]

Sucks for Eddy. I really liked the season he was having.

 

[McRanger92]

Mr. Ed is part of the future. I hope we give him a chance to play again this year, but he will be a staple of our bottom 6 for years. There's upside there.

 

[Harbour Dog]

We have got the makings of a phenomenal homegrown bottom6 coming up right now.

And you know, for a team that lives and dies by free agency and attracting big names, having some combination of Edstrom, Berard, Sykora, Othmann, Rempe, Chmelar, Roobroeck, etc., ingrained in the culture and setting the tone in games, sounds like a pretty damn good base to build a winning team on.

If we had Edstrom and Carrick last year against Florida I no joke think we might have won that series. Our bottom 6 was garbage. Though I guess we did get a Goodrow OT goal in game 2.
