He injured his knee and has been on LTIR since March 26. There's a belief amongst many here that Vegas players can't actually be injured but are only faking it for cap purposes.

Maybe people would think different if several VGK players who had at one point been "likely ruled out for the rest of the regular season" by VGK management hadn't all of a sudden made miraculous recoveries as soon as capspace became available (eg Stone, Pacioretty, Martinez).

I'm sure there's some calculated stuff going on in Vegas but these guys ARE injured to some degree.

I think they are injured to the same degree as a bunch of guys on every NHL roster, who are injured but playing through injuries. Certainly not an injury that devastating to be termed "out for the season" by the GM. If they were that badly injured they would not be playing now regardless of how much the team needed them. The fact that it has happened not just once but multiple times with this franchise tells me that they have been exaggerating injuries for caprelief all season and I see no reason to give them the benefit of doubt.

yup, and out tonight. probably being super cautious.

Business: We don't just need NYR to make the ECF, but we need Copp to play 50% of the games. If he's hurt badly and they're not just being cautions, this hurts the Jets chances a 1st.

Personal: Damn. He was playing awesome and was always one of my favorite Jets. I want to see him do well.
