Player Discussion Charlie McAvoy V

[Sheppy]

Ok, now it sounds worse than I thought.

 

[PB37]

I think the play in question is one of the earlier games where he was checked from behind and went shoulder first into the goal post. If I recall correctly, there was a penalty on the play. I'm guessing he was trying to play thru it and made it worse during the Canada/USA game.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Legitimate question, move Carlo, who do you bring in for his replacement.

Anyone he's that soft and crappy. No I don't think 2RD has to be a zero offense shut down only guy. We have something like that minus the soft in Zad and Peeke as well on the right.

Not sure what some people's infatuation with Brandon is he's treated like Chara by many.

It is standard procedure to run through all the testing. If it is an infection they want to make sure they know what type of infection it is and also make sure the treatment doesn't mess with anything else he might be taking. My sister just went through this with a persistent sinus infection. They had to find out what it was to find the right medication b/c she's allergic to certain medications.

I know. I work in health care as a technician, we deal with a lot of this stuff. Sometimes it's as easy as said medication and antibiotics and sometimes infections can lead to much more serious matters.

It's the idea that he was questionable for Thursday, and now he's ruled out and most likely out in definitely.

It's how vague the statement is that's a bit concerning with me.

 

[KrugAvoy]

Is there anything proving it was an infection or heart related yet or do all we know is upper body?

 

[LouJersey]

McAvoy ruled OUT for Thursday's game.

as well he should be

Gotcha. It is concerning but I keep leaning on that whatever it is was caught early and that MGH is the best of the best and he's going to be ok.

well that doesn't sound great for what's going on...MRSA, cellulitis or even staph I don't think would elicit evaluation from a team physician.

For this season?
Doesn’t matter.

Next season and beyond?
They’ve got 7 months or so to figure it out.

I'm not sure the extent of his previous injury and if he had a procedure done, but it's unusual to have an infection (which they seemed to have indicated) if the guy just got hit, or fell awkwardly. Maybe there was some sort of open wound?

He could have got hit really hard and ruptured something, but I don't really think that's happened.

I think it depends on how bad it is…..plus….and I’m not saying this with even the slightest bit of envy, when you play for a professional sports team, I’d think you receive a sort of preferential treatment.

If it were you or I, there’s probably a small chance we’d be admitted with whatever infection he has.

For him, I understand it.

It seems like standard procedure to loop in your team physician who would know the player's medical history best. It just so happens the team doctor works at MGH so it makes sense that he take over.

Dr. Boyd is the USA's team physician. He's the Wild's team physician as well.

Thats part of any deal you make for him can you replace that contract.

while he gets slagged here, he`s a top 4 minute muncher, not sure there`s another top 4 D man out there for better money now, maybe in the summer but why bother, he has another 2 years at a great number with a rising cap.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Well, that is a pretty big blow to USA’s chances Thursday night

Quinn Hughes is his replacement.

 

[Oates2Neely]

edit* wrong thread

 

[Mad-Marcus]

From a recent report, it sound like he had a cut get infected. Maybe it needed irrigation, sutures and anti-biotics? If it was Staff, it's nothing to ignore.

 

[CDJ]

Seravilli doesn’t seem to think it’s a serious long-term thing

God, I hope they don't handle things that way.

Replacing Carlo if they trade him?

What’s the benefit to doing it immediately?

I’m usually as optimistic as they come, but short of trading Geekie and Carlo for MacKinnon and Makar, they’re likely not making the playoffs, never mind winning a cup,

Give some kids a chance and come back loaded for bear in October.

One benefit would be dropping like a rock down the stretch and getting lottery pick .

Quinn Hughes is his replacement.

Only if another D man is listed out

Considering the B's have nothing in terms of prospects that are defensemen, I hope they don't trade Carlo without having any idea of how to replace him. They really don't need another hole to fill.

No complaints here.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I am on the next season train as well. This sounds like a blessing in disguise for the Bruins. If AIP Murphy was to be believed they were about to give away Carlo and that would have been bad.

Mac also needs time I think. Hoping for the best for Mac. ...
