Injury Report: Kreider fully cleared to play

[Killem Dafoe]

We love when people are connected and can break news to us as fast as they can. You just need to be vetted on this site. It's the rules. We aren't saying you're wrong - you just need to provide a link or get vetted.

If you want to do this, message a mod and we'll be more than happy to set you up so you can share info in the future.

 

[Ori]

yeah, it`s unfortunate for him and his closest family.

 

[Irishguy42]

This sucks. God speed, Kreids

DD will now be firmly entrenched on the PP

 

[zlev]

It also seems to happen to many athletes. Don't know why.

PED's and supplements

(not saying that is the case here)

 

[member 116805]

Wow that sucks. Hope he makes a fast and full recovery

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Basically worst case scenario.

I'd like to see Chytil up when he comes back from the WJC. Only player in the system who could potentially replicate Kreider's impact.

 

[RangerBoy]

More likely from what we’ve heard that it’s DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)

Brooks said the injury is similar to Vasilevskiy. He had thoracic outlet syndrome.

Steven Stamkos has successful surgery on blood clot

 

[Hire Sather]

Big blow to our season. Fans of other Metro teams have perked up. Great news for them, it just is.

 

[LORDE]

This sucks.

Well the battle to make the playoffs just got more up hill

Chytil is 18 years old. No reason to rush him.

 

[rangers1314]

Sucks for Kreider, best wishes to him on a full & speedy recovery.

Silver lining here is that perhaps his absence makes it more likely that we see a selloff come the deadline.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Terrible news. This is a major blow to our playoff chances. I just hope we don't make any stupid trades to try to make the playoffs.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Sorry, guys, but any information about Kreider being posted as true must be accompanied by a link to a reputable media source.

Considering the info that was posted ending up being correct, do you think it would be fair to undelete the person's post? Maybe thats not possible, but I think its only fair to give them due for being correct about this info before others were.

Edit: I see what @Killem Dafoe said, fair enough, I guess.

Awful news for Kreids. Hopefully he gets better, and takes all the time he needs to do so.

The deadline is two months away. If we stay in the hunt, I bet we'll be adding, and a bunch of narrative surrounding CK20's return to the lineup will be about how he is "like another deadline acquisition" if that's around the time he returns.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

Maybe not, but definitely awful news.

 

[Lion Hound]

Terrible news. Hope he is ok.

For what? This team has shown nothing to make me think that they are capable of winning the cup. I don't want to throw away anymore draft picks for the Eric Staals and Brendon Smiths of the world.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Is it life threatening? If so, who cares about our playoff chances?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Basically worst case scenario.

I'd like to see Chytil up when he comes back from the WJC. Only player in the system who could potentially replicate Kreider's impact.

We don't need him to be any closer to free agency. Gotta think long-term here.

If he plays more than 9, he'll be closer to free agency after this season. Promote him at the end of the season to get him ready for next season. Its not like we are a Cup contender.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Awful. I don't want to see him on the ice until he is 100% and if that means never, then so be it. There are more important things than hockey

silver lining is Lettieri gets a chance to stick

and we may finally see a BUZZ line (Buch, Zib, Zucc)

we will have to cross the sellers?/buyers? question at the deadline. either way I'm not really interested in giving up any notable futures for anything. If we're in the hunt and can upgrade without mortgaging the future, then you do it, but its a bridge we will have to cross when we get there.

Brooks said the injury is similar to Vasilevskiy. He had thoracic outlet syndrome.

Steven Stamkos has successful surgery on blood clot

Highly doubt they would diagnose him with a blood clot (DVT) and then come out with saying it publically only to reverse the diagnosis to something like thoracic outlet syndrome. They are two different things.

 

[nevesis]

Is it life threatening? If so, who cares about our playoff chances?

DVT can be life threatening if not treated or caught early. Thankfully, they caught it right as it happened.

 

[FooteBahl]

Big blow to our season. Fans of other Metro teams have perked up. Great news for them, it just is.

Nah, I hope no fan would rejoice over an injury. As a devil fan, I would never wish injury on another player...get well soon Kreids

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Glad I saw the post this morning before it got deleted. Don't see what the big deal is to post rumors, it's one of the only reasons I come to this forum, although I saw the same rumor on reddit. Hoping for the best for CK.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It also seems to happen to many athletes. Don't know why.

No doctor but maybe being a pro athlete exposes the underlying conditions moreso than a non-athlete based on all the blood pumping and nutrients demand pumping through them vs a more sedentary person.
