Just saw Doughty's injury. That's...really not great.

Linkage?

Oh! That last angle…..ankle snapper!

 

[marcel snapshot]

As someone who's had ankle replacement surgery, that's a hard watch

 

[Ridley Simon]

To maybe be glass half full — aren’t broken ankles faster to heal than really bad sprains?

Maybe it won’t be that long?

Ok that looks quite bad.

simple fracture usually heals quick. needs screws or pins, oh hell na

 

[g00n]

I think the key difference between breaks and soft tissue injuries has always been that breaks are not likely to recur due to healing back stronger whereas soft tissue is always weakened and becomes more likely to recur. Soft tissue has the added disadvantage of scar tissue creating problems.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Yeah - also without a clean break, you can have multiple events where you lose bone chips, so they’re floating around the tissue causing problems, coupled with bone spurs that can interfere with flexion, and then you get a wash, rinse, repeat cascading effect over the years, and pretty soon it’s painful to walk a mile, let alone play hockey

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That looked like the plate and screws-type injury to me….

Seems to be a lot of overrated defensemen these days...and not many great ones.

Wow. And meanwhile JC74--NHL's ice time leader last year--not on the list anywhere. That's fun.

The whole list isn't in the picture until you click on it he's in group 5A

Doh! The internet... How does it work?

 

[Ridley Simon]

So Jared Spurgeon is a better player than John Carlson?

Ok, got it. That was just a quick glance.

“Nice list”

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

If Makar is 1b, who’s is 1a? Orr? Coffey?

Hopefully the Bruins f*** the relationship with Swayman so badly that he ends up playing somewhere else.

They are certainly doing a good job so far!

In other words, our ask for Swayman has been way more than $64 million and we were never going to agree to that number.

As it should be.

He'd look like a moron taking 8m a year when Igor will likely get 11+ within a year.

Bruins are the idiots here for moving Ullmark without having a solution for Swayman ready. This feels like someone is feeling the pressure because their season is heading towards the toilet because of that mistake. They basically gave all the cards to a guy they strong-armed in arbitration negotiations while back, and now he's going to take every penny he's going to get.

aka Kirk-Cousining

I find Carlson's rating fair for him at this point in his career?

 

[um]

After seeing Draisaitl get 14 million Igor should ask for more. Goalies have been underpaid for awhile.

Even the Bruins just gave Lindholm 7.75 million. Swayman is significantly more valuable than a 2C like Lindholm.

I feel like goalies have become like RBs in the NFL in some aspects. Nobody wants to pay a massive number.
