Around the NHL 2024 25 Season

Do you by chance know if he’s allowed to practice with the team during the suspension or will he have to skate on his own?

If the Tkachuk injury is just LTIR scamming and he’ll be 100% come playoffs too the Panthers ought to be well rested for another push

Players can start practicing with the team and doing team activities other than games when there is 10 days left in the suspension.

So if the playoffs start on April 19, and the Panthers play the 19th and 21st... Ekblad could rejoin the team on Saturday the 12th.

I doubt this, he missed the last two Four Nations games (well played a period each) with what looked like a groin injury and from experience they aren't the quickest to heal/can be reaggravated quite easily. Even if he starts game 1 of the playoffs, we'll see how healthy he actually is.

Slightly annoyed that Buffalo wanted Zary for Cozens. I knew he’d quickly shake off the Sabres stink

What I've never understood is Pinto gets hyped up and Cozens gets shit on... but Cozens even in a down year on a worse team, was outproducing Pinto

Cozens being shat on probably originated with the GMs who wanted him in the hopes that it would lower his market value lol

Conroy should have offered something around Frost for Cozens. Kadri, Cozens, Zary, & Backlund would have been pretty decent centre depth

Except Zary was Adams’ ask, and Conny wasn’t having any of it.

So much for signing Quick in the offseason to let Wolfy pick his brain for a year. Nothing wrong with another year of the Wolfy-Vladdy tandem imho.

Problem is, he can't learn much from a journeyman Vladar is. I think someone like fit Fleury would provide with a better input to his already great young career (and I wasn't a fan at first).. I know Fleury wants to retire after this season but perhaps improving someone as talented as Wolfie could increase his appetite to alter his decision.

Quick is beyond cooked. He’s on the end of some heavy defeats every other start. I wouldn’t even take him over Cooley

Hoping for New Jersey to fall out of PO race....Markstrom been very poor since his injury...anything could happen.

Not that I hate Markstrom or anything, but honestly speaking... the way that NJD roster players consistently miss time, I don't know if that means that their doctors are good at their jobs, or hokey AF. I guess they're not playing through as much in terms of injury, but there's also a ton of LTIR, not just IR maintenance days here and there. There also must be something wrong with their recovery procedures and system. It's kinda nuts to see how many man games lost they have frequently had with their top players for the last decade.

I think it's more about athletic therapists than doctors. We see it with Vancouver too.

But as I pointed out previously, they're down Hughes and half of their top 4. That is incredibly difficult to play through and to do so you need a coach that will adjust the system to protect goals against, and I don't see that in NJ
