Agreed.
Sure does create a logjam though. We'd be in a position where we'd likely need to ship out 1-2 other defensemen.

Been there, done that.
Sad to hear that. Me like the Quaider. Get well soon.
I don't think he would displace Miller though.

Before trading D, if not to improve a particular aspect of the Bruins, I would think twice (except for the cap issue).
Good D, great goaltending wins championship.
And I just like McQuaid's game.

Another classic HF overreaction. McQuaid will never play for the Bruins again. LOL.
Aside from the fact that he's got a ring for us and another trip to the Finals, is a good leader, plays Bruins hockey to a 'T', and is signed very cheap, the team would never let him go without allowing at least a chance to earn a spot back (assuming he's even lost it at all).
And how about this for a practical matter: Assuming he is going to be traded, which is a big 'if', his trade value is at an all-time low. Why would the Bruins make a trade like that when they would be hard pressed to find value on the market? They wouldn't.

Love Wolf was a playoff beast for us --2 trips to the finals in 3 years with him and we got guys throwing him under the bus in a heartbeat. Sad, really.

It's not crazy, especially when sports teams are notorious for keeping injury details close to the vest. He was on the ice a couple of weeks ago; perhaps that "something silly" happened on the ice. Rehab is, or course a delicate balance - too slow, and you miss the season, but too fast, and you reinjure yourself.
Not to say stupid things can't happen off ice (cf Gronkowski, Ron, 2013 post-Super Bowl).
But here's some more info from http://bigbadblog.weei.com/sports/b...e-for-bruins-adam-mcquaid-has-ankle-surgery/:
At least now we pretty much know the 8 D-men we've got for the rest of the season, barring a Seidenberg miracle.
I too think that McQuaid is retained and back in the fold next year. I see him and Miller rotating with Krug in the third pairing. Having 7 legit NHL d-men is huge. Chiapet will keep him, especially with his contract hit being what it is. Trading him for a pick does nothing for us.
How is it he was "day to day" for 3+ months, and waited until now to have surgery? Obviously someone knew the severity of his injury. Why not get it taken care of months ago and give them options come playoff time? #SMH

He has a quad injury. He was skating a couple of weeks ago. He messed up his ankle in some way, and had the surgery now because the quad injury would keep him out anyway.
It sounds like the ankle injury was something that happened prior to his quad injury but not serious enough to preclude him from playing had be not suffered the quad injury.
Every time you sprain your ankle, your ligaments fray and pull away from the bone causing pieces to chip away. He was probably slated for a little "cleanup" after the season and now that he has been shut down for the year, no need to put off this procedure.
It sucks that he's not playing again but this surgery truly is not a big deal.
This is why sprained ankles are the worst injury a hockey player can sustain.

obviously the guy is tough as nails but we have to admit he is injury prone. those are just the facts. i like what he brings to the table but i could see miller serving mcquaid's role going forward. miller is younger/cheaper for now. this doesn't constitute throwing mcquaid under the bus. i would just be surprised if he ends up being in their long-term plans. hey i liked mark stuart too but he was ultimately traded. you can't keep everyone you like.

is seidenbergs recovery unprecedented in the (short) amount of time its taken him? I've never heard of anyone recovering from ACL tear in 5 months...

Paging Dr. Asnis, paging Dr. Asnis. Please answer this question. Thank you.
Seriously though, it sounds like the ankle injury that while something that needed surgery to correct 100%, was something they felt he could play through the season with and were focused on the quad injury. Once it was determined the quad muscle injury wasn't going to heal in time for this season they decided to just get a head start on the recovery from the ankle surgery. Obviously I have no idea if this is how it went down, but having been through something similar when I was playing in college, I can easily see it.

Nope, Wes Welker 4 months, another football player did it in 4 months too. There is another hockey player who did it but I'm blanking on his name.

Welker tore his ACL in December didnt he - from what I recall it was final game of the season vs houston?? Games didnt start until September in that case making it 9 months. Playoff hockey is a different animal than off-season workouts..
I don't doubt its been done, but is Seidenberg @ <100% an upgrade?

I believe welker got hurt Jan 3rd, and played his first regular season game the following Sept 12th. I believe he was also on the field for the preseason as well. Longer than the amount of time Seidenberg has missed, but less than the amount of time A. Peterson missed a few years later.
Mankins played the whole season on a torn ACL a few years back, but I can't imagine playing on a torn ACL is the same as playing on a surgically repaired ACL. Already torn probably can't get much more damaged (Mankins). Already repaired would mean reinjury (Seidenberg).

The principle issue is stability. Some people can perform with a partially torn ACL if their leg muscles (quads and hamstrings) are strong enough to assist in knee stabilization. A surgically repaired ACL is as good as the original.

I heard that on the news on my way home from work.
Welcome back Seids ?
I was a bit late to the story (missed the big honking "Injury Report: Dennis Seidenberg" thread - lol) but... Yeah, that would be fantastic if he's actually ready. What a boost that would be.

Also from the story: "Still, how Seidenberg feels and how his doctors feel are two completely different stories."
