Player Discussion Christian Dvorak Part 2

[SlafySZN]

Pretty nice that they waited until the middle of summer to get his surgery done.

His surgery was already done, though. I remember Caufield posted a picture of Dvorak after his surgery around the end of the season.

 

[Canadienna]

Sheesh. It does explain our C depth though.

The fact this thread hasn't been bumped since last November is a reflection of what we're missing out on with him in the lineup.

Edit: This is the quote all the articles are basing this off. He definitely had the surgery back in March, just hasn't gone right.

"I’m told Christian Dvorak’s injury toward the end of last season is not expected to heal in time for the start of training camp and could bleed into the regular season, perhaps a week or two. At the time his knee surgery was announced on March 15, the Canadiens said he would be ready for the start of the season, but that appears to no longer be the case." - Basu

I don't Anderson be himself next year also. I suffered high ankle sprain. I was a long while getting back.

Why would you even think that is the case??

 

[JC Superstar]

Best case would be to put Dvorak on LTIR so his salary would account for the cap overdraft without touching Price treasure chest. If salary goes over the cap by the start of the season, the entire player(s) salary on LTIR used to fill the gap is lost. You don't want to miss on 10,5M to plug a 2 or 3M hole.

Idk because I'm dumb

It was expected, he's rarely healthy for a full season.

 

[Tyson]

Provides an opportunity for a young player

So a "could probably play earlier, but it's way more useful for us and him if he doesn't" decision.

Hughes said didn't want to rush him. After being burnt numerous times rushing them back last two years, sounds like new medical staff playing it different this season

Probably fixed an MCL or a meniscus
ACL would take way longer

 

[HuGort]

690 they just said he's going to miss first month

When Dvorak had his surgery, he said he would be ready for early October and now it's November, a month later, without setbacks. They are taking the docs timeline and doing a +1 month to it to not rush him.

Also, Dvorak started skating in August.

 

[Wats]

Honestly, thought he'd at least have a serviceable career with Montreal.

I'm sure you and Josh Anderson are built exactly the same and your therapy at the YMCA is identical to what is offered to millionaire athletes

If we were a 'good' team, he most likely helps a bit
On a bad team, these guys tend to stick out
Makes me think of Hoffman too

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

All of a sudden there is space for everyone up front again!! Yay!!

Hughes learned his lesson last season with rushing players back to quick.

I have a good feeling about what Dvo can bring to the top 9 over the next year and a half.

In his first year with us he had 33 points in 56 games. That's a pace of 48 points in 82 games. Get him the right linemates and he can produce 50 points per 82 games. I just think he may help the team more on the wing, with Suzuki - Dach - Monahan holding down the center position.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

I don’t think he looked very good last night. Is he traceable? Washington for a tall under performing winger making $5.7 million?
