Don't think so. No benefit to him playing this year and risking re-injury to his hand. Get some practices in maybe and come back healthy and ready to play next season. Also he burns a year regardless of playing a game so there's no incentive for him to dress for a game.

I suspect the odds of re-injuring his hand are pretty low 6 weeks after surgery, the incentive to dress him is pretty much the same as any late season callup, it lets him know what it's like to play at this level, and hopefully plant a seed to get him to work extra hard in the offseason. Same incentive we had in playing Norris 3 games in 2020, JBD 5 games in 2021, or Brannstrom 2 games in 2019.
I know he got on the ice for some practices with the team at the start of the month, but with a non contact jersey, not sure how many practices he's gotten in though. He may just not be ready before the end of season, but if he gets cleared I don't see why we wouldn't consider getting him in the line for a game or two.

Brutal...what a cursed season for our young upstarts. He and Pinto just wipe a season of development out.
Hope he keeps his spirits up!

Unfortunate that his hand injury has been such a lingering issue. Was it a skate cut or something like that?
Can't wait to see him come in as a rookie next season though. Will add a whole new dimension to the blue line.

He dove into the net to prevent a goal near the end of his last game, seems like he broke it there
Yep and Greig too with the long haul symptoms and then whatever it was that kept him out so long at end of season.

Not just nicks and bruises but significant injuries that could be career altering.

I thought maybe it was ligament or tendon damage from a skate but I may not be recalling correctly.
I have PTSD about hand injuries with all that Bobby went through.
**not trying to make light of people who truly suffer from PTSD**
Yeah me too, I’m low key worried that some of these guys will become injury prone and derail their careers.
But maybe now is the time where we can have nice things?

Yup. Got praised for that head first dive to save a goal. Probably should have done it a little more carefully.
Guess the circumstances didn’t allow for that. 6 more weeks in a cast that’s real shit news.

I feel for the kid. Having done rehab on injuries, it sucks, and takes a lot of time away from training that he'd normally do to improve his game. 6 more weeks in a cast, on top of what he already had will need a ton of rehab to rebuild his strength.

He looked so good and progressed so noticeably when he played, he'll be fine. But it's definitely kind of unsettling all the injuries piling up. As long as availability doesn't become an issue, he's going to be a good one.

That looks like a really weird angle for his wrist/hand to be at as well? Maybe it is just the angle of the photo but seems unnatural.
Was the exact injury every disclosed? It seems more than a standard break for sure and I wonder if there was any ligament or tendon damage as well.

Is it even a cast? Or is it something to keep water from getting on his arm? When I broke my wrist I had to wrap it in a garbage bag when I was showering to keep it dry.
The sunglasses are in a weird spot.
Assen na yo!
