I like Yegor a lot, but maybe it's time to trade him. Permanent injuries are not helping his play and we need a player who is healthy. I'd trade him for Emil Heineman right away, but Montreal would never do it.
I hope Yegor will be healthy, I like him a lot, but he's not a top talent (honestly, we don't have him, the first line benefits from great chemistry) and injuries like this don't help the team. I'm pretty sad about that because he and Sillinger have great chemistry and could make a great third line.Habs would do it in a heartbeat lol . It’s not like his contract is an anchor . You don’t trade that kind of talent and upside while the value is low. You just wait and hope for the best.

I hope I'm talking nonsense, Yegor will be fine soon and won't have any more health problems, he's an extremely talented player.
Chinakhov? I love him as a player but he absolutely has established injury issues. He hasn't even remotely come close to playing a full season.He's absolutely a “top talent” and does not even have any sort of established injury issues or history.
He's missed 63 NHL games in the 3 seasons before this year due to injury. He's easier to like and a much better overall player than Laine but he has very real injury concernsPlenty of nonsense.
Your comments on Chinakhov in relation to Laine are borderline unbelievable.
He’s absolutely a “top talent” and does not even have any sort of established injury issues or history.
All I know right now is they aren't really saying what this one is. I recall someone saying he got accidentally kicked in the head by skate. If it is a concussion and he hasn't recovered to play again for a month I have serious concerns about his future in this sport.
Yeah. if that is what it is, the longer it takes to recover, it makes me wonder if there next one happens will it be even longer, or will it ever go away. It's not something you want to mess with in the wrong way for sure.It strikes me as a long time to not have more info from the club, but it doesn't strike me as a long time to recover from a concussion. We have guys deal with them every year, and most recover well. Some don't, I understand the concern.
How did it take this long for the nature of his injury to come out? (And don’t answer it’s none of our business. That’s my stock answer in these situations and I always get shot down. Whether or not we have a right to know does not equate our ability to know, and it’s the latter I’m asking about.)Listening to the Puck Rakers podcast and Brian Hedger says the injury is a back injury and it’s one that kept him out a few years ago.

So what we are saying here is that he a recurring back injury that will probably never go away.Listening to the Puck Rakers podcast and Brian Hedger says the injury is a back injury and it’s one that kept him out a few years ago.
It feels like it is best to trade him even if the return is low. His value and potential is still sky high IMO, but at this point he is getting into his mid 20's and his availability just hasn't been enough plus I think his skillset doesn't match what Fantilli and KJ likely need going forward. Better to get something tangible in return than pine for what could be.
