Does anyone have any inside info on when Barkey may be healthy enough to suit up, I have never experience Mono but have heard it is a very tough thing to come back from conditioning wise?
Could be cleared for contact soon


Also, Bonk & Barkey returning is inevitable

Last I heard from flyers Twitter is that he is in a no contact jersey participating in some drills. Might be a long time before we see him.

It can be tough, but definitely a case by case scenario. No standard time. Kinda like any viral infection.....crushes some, others are good much quicker. Just my experience with kids but anywhere from a month of onset to 3 months to return to regular fitness.
Yes conditioning is a big issue post any virus. Fs with body systems.

Just a guess with no inside info but from reports I'm guessing 3 more weeks. No need to rush it thou I'm sure he is wanting to push it

Absolutely I agree both will be back. What are your thoughts on the Cowan situation? I don't think he has quite played good enough to stick, but I do not think he has much to prove here either. Do they give him a shot and maybe send him to the WJC then back? Or just do the standard 9 gamer over 30 days, or send back before season starts?

Cowan will be back. Hasn't impressed in pre-season, isn't showing up on Leafs depth charts, and they have a lot of other forward decisions to make regarding waivers. He's the easy one to move

Yes Edward got sent to the AHL Providence Bruins training camp...

"will report to Providence Bruins training camp."

I agree, I am just wondering if they give him a little sniff of it this year or send him packing before the season even begins.

My bad, sarcastic response. Another poster had him staying up for 9 Gs, and on other teams maybe the full year.
No one else thought it but this poster is always right, just ask them ;)

It’s all good , I’m far from always right , I once thought Miles Liberati would become a star but boy I was so wrong on that one .

Me too! Ask my significant other. Im always wrong lol!
Just that he gets on posters when they don't agree with him and comes across as arrogant. Many have hit the ignore button. Really could contribute to good discussion if they didn't piss off so many that hit ignore lol.
All good. It's a public forum, but when ya claim to know it all and are 100% wrong people may just call it out ;)

Really just depends how long Sim is out for, and if they trust him to remain healthy when / if he comes back. He barely played half a season last year.

I'm not concerned about Willmore. Give Dave Rook some time to work with him.
100%, it’s so incredibly early. Look at last year, a poster stated London was 15-10 to start. Oshawa was .500 or just below for the first 20 games. The last half of the season means everything in junior hockey. I don’t know how you all feel so far, but as an oshawa guy it feels like anxiety is much higher this year in regards too players at NHL camps. Feels like players are remaining longer than usual and we’re not getting very good updates. Both London and oshawa hit hard by it so far. London is going to be an elite team come December, I think. Right now it’s basically an extended pre season.

Just about a year ago, many Knights fans on these very pages had written London Knights off for the season just two months into it at the end of November. London did win the OHL Championship as top of the regular and playoffs at the end of the season. Kitchener Rangers, only 2 games in and still in September, we are reading similar words on these pages, let's just wait until their coaches have a chance to work their team in their system before writing this team out.
Same with Oshawa fans. Not many thought they’d even make the playoffs at that point.

He had a long debate with me in pm’s because I played junior hockey but am not on hockeydb (and he is) so my opinion doesn’t count. It was quite comical. His “predictions” are always good for a chuckle.

It will take him a bit to recover when he does return probably see him playing well by December from someone who's had to recover from mono while playing hockey.
