Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - camp edition

[None Shall Pass]

He's gonna miss the first month of the season. That's not terrible, and we got the depth to handle it. Next.

Probably less if it happened last week

Definitely sucks, but yeah, it’s not the end of the world. Hopefully Nemec is good to go though. We’re going to need him for PP2.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Hatakka needs to be on the roster in some form imo to start the year

 

[Emperoreddy]

I bet he is back in 5 weeks. Sucks he misses camp, but I bet he misses very few games that count.

Hopefully he is skating and maybe can do non contract practice to help learn the new systems towards end of camp

Still no update on Nemec ?

It only took barstool to be video recording at Michigan and Luke walking in the background with a sling to get an injury update.

I would be suprised if Nemec isn’t out just as long

 

[Saugus]

We really can't catch a break with injuries lately. Regressing hard after our unusually healthy run two seasons ago.

It should really be time to evaluate what you are doing training/off season wise

Some of its bad luck etc but also some of it is preventative maintenance stuff. It could be that they are so young and don’t take it a as seriously as some of the veterans do

Who else is hurt doing training besides Luke?

 

[Billdo]

Siegenthaler-Hamilton
Dillon-Pesce
Hatakka-Nemec

Nemec’s injury happened two weeks ago. Maybe he misses a few games, but he’ll probably be back before. He was rehabbing his shoulder just last week.

This team has had more than their fair of shoulder injuries. Not specifically during training.

Luke
Jack x2
Timo
Nemec

Most shoulder injuries are attributed to lack of stability and mobility within the shoulder. The lack of focus on these issues likely leads to more shoulder issues in the future

 

[JimEIV]

I'm a little shocked how long it's taken me to get my shoulder to just adequate. And by adequate I mean pain free.

I'm old so it doesn't compare, but man, I've been at this for 4 months with bursitis, impingement and some bicep tendon and rotator cuff issues. The last month and a half doing therapy 4 times a week....and I'm not nearly 100% maybe 80?

 

[JK3]

So mid November, sweet.

Lack of blood flow to the tendons etc is why shoulders take so long to heal and once they go south you almost have to do double the work to correct the course of action.

It's the missing camp and the game conditioning that's terrible. His timing has the potential to be off until Christmas.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Pain. Literally.

You said training/off season issues though, most of those are in game situations

Us.

[AfroThunder396]

So he went through a table at a Michigan frat kegger, good to know

 

[MasterofGrond]

Kovacevic is legitimately pretty good. He's no Nemec, but as long as Hamilton and Pesce are playing I'm not super worried about missing Nemec for a short while.

Luke hurts, though, he's by far the teams best LD and the replacement for him is a worse option than Kovacevic. Hatakka deserves some time, though, so it's not without a slight silver lining.

Won’t be out too long as well, that’s good. Not ideal though.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Given recent history of injury reports I'm just going to assume he needs surgery. But they are going to force him back without getting it, he's going to reaggravate it, then he will get the surgery after additional damage is done.

Or maybe this is 7th dimension chess to open up cap space for a Mercer extension
