Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XV

[Ola]

Wouldn’t a NHL team in Baltimore be a hit? Baltimore the Wires?

Or New Orleans?

 

[Kovalev27]

I knew it. Made no sense to sit McKegg after his last game and bringing up Getts would have signaled that.

how are they going to continue to pretend this isn’t a serious head injury? It’s been 3 weeks he’s still not practicing with the team? This is no bruised sternum or whip lash.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I just hope by Wednesday we are back to full strength. Can't be too mad at the loss to the Cats, valiant effort, Quinn had to play Panarin and Strome 30 minutes and we really only lost because of our PK. Get Zib and Kakko back and baby we got a stew goin.

EDIT: welp there goes that hope. Gotta be a concussion or a rather serious neck injury. Hope someone breaks Bergeron's jaw next time we play.

 

[Kovalev27]

Mika not at practice today tells me he’s going to miss at least his 10th game. That’s a big time amount of games to miss. That’s a serious injury so this bullshit day to day story needs to be challenged. Someone needs to bring up the concussion word again and get some answers.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m a bit confused why they’re sending Haley down if Mika isn’t ready?

They’re at 12 healthy forwards

 

[Kovalev27]

Home game on Wednesday I guess they can call up a spare in an emergency if needed. However Hartford plays Wednesday so that’s interesting. Regardless they have another day of cap savings to play with

All I know is that the Islanders should move there and save this state a WHOLE lot of trouble

 

[offdacrossbar]

Why stop there? Gerorgiev can be the new Haek, Chytil will be the new Forsberg, Lindgren can be the new Foote, Kravstov the new Kovalev.

There is no chance of that happening. Fox should not be mentioned in the same breath as a generational player. Kakko is not one either.

so negative.... hater.


and this haek..... ????

some weird step child of hank, hasek and hajek ?

creepy.

Whoops. The little step brother...........

I think General Hospital is calling on line two.

Have you ever suffered a briusted sternum or whip lash? It is ridiculously important to come back when whole as the chance of other injuries gets compounded if not completely healthy. Especially when dealing with whiplash.

Someone needs to bring up the concussion word again and get some answers.

My advice? Call the newspapers and tell them that you have uncovered a conspiracy.

We can actually debate Malkin. But that is quibbling. This is exactly the term "generational" is way too frequently used around here. Look at that list. Kakko ain't them. And to throw in Fox........

I would not be surprised if ZBad did not play next game.

whiplash yes. Never felt good enough to play then had to stop because I had a set back.

but my personal experience has zero to do with this. The guy has a very clear history of concussions. And if you watch the video he took that shoulder on the chin. 3 weeks later and he’s still day to day? Brutal.

 

[Edge]

There's probably a reason why reporters haven't dug deeper and found this to be a concussion related issue.

And it's not because they're lazy or are afraid to ask...

Again, there is no smoke and there is no fire. Just the hysteria of a message board. There is no reason to believe otherwise.

 

[McRanger]

None of the Rangers young players are generational.

None of the Blackhawks players are/were generational.

Its because they are in on the conspiracy.

Just put that guy on waivers.

Haley embarrassed himself and the organization over the weekend. So, there's that.

Agreed. And you usually don't get the "expected to be back any day now" tidbits if this were a more serious situation.

Anyway, Z's history with head injuries will make his health status a prickly subject for years to come.

 

[Kovalev27]

Haley is apparently still there so if they did need a body he could go back In. He’s cleared waivers.

 

[Kovalev27]

Oh good nothing to worry about Mika is just day to day feeling better and will miss his 10th game Wednesday. Just word for word what was said 3 weeks ago.

 

[NYR Viper]

Wait, did I miss something?

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Wait, did I miss something?

I sensed real animosity from Quinn regarding how Haley racked up the PIMs while the coach was dealing with a short bench in a blowout game. And I don't think you'll ever see him in a Ranger uniform again, thank goodness.
