Recalled/Assigned: 2015-2016 Injury Updates & Roster Moves (Moen out; Seguin's status still unknown)

[inthe6ix]

INJURY UPDATE: Tyler Seguin out 3-4 weeks w/15% cut to Achilles' tendon.

GM Nill says he should return for playoffs

Brutal. At least it wasn't a complete tear.

Hope he's back ahead of schedule for you guys.

 

[LT]

Who do y'all think will get a call up with sequin hurt. Or do y'all think anyone will now. If Johns has played himself on the team then they will only have one call up.

No one. He's been playing wing and we'll get Janmark back soon.

Doesn't 3-4 weeks seem a little aggressive for this? I'd think it'd be more like 4-6 weeks.

For sure if he's back in time for the playoffs, he's no where near 100%. Can't skate on that for quite a while.

I didn't even take high school biology so I have no sweet clue lol

 

[Frozen Failure]

Ritchie will play and Janmark will be back. We have enough healthy bodies right now up front.

 

[serp]

Yeah this could've been worse. With both Faksa and Ritchie up we have enough bodies that we won't call anyone up. Janmark is coming back soon enough and Moen as much as he's horrible is still on the roster.

We'll miss Seguin but the team can handle ittself without for a couple of weeks especially once Klingberg is back.

 

[Joufreau]

what do ya'll see the lines looking like without seguin?

 

[Ub the Bub]

If I'm gonna guess:
Benn-Eakin-Eaves
Nichushkin-Spezza-Sharp
Roussel-Faksa-Hemsky
Sceviour-Fiddler-Ritchie

Or if Janmark is ready, put him in instead of Sceviour/Ritchie/Eaves (depending on Ruff's mood that day), and reshuffle a bit maybe.

 

[serp]

Just to update this thing here.
The team is understandably very careful with the injuries . Team needs to be fully for the playoffs. Division Title would be great but no reason to take an unneccesary risk . The team played great with them out so there's no need to rush anyone back.

 

[Hockey Dad]

I would like to see them get back in one game before the playoffs. Just to shake some rust.

 

[LT]

Agreed, one game would be nice. I'm loving the way we're playing without them though. Not that I don't want them back, but I think we'll be fine no matter when they return.

I hope this team wins the WC title just for their own pride. Could definitely be a start to success, give them a bit of a taste that they can use to go even further.

 

[serp]

That means Moen will be in tomorow with Ritchie not traveling with the team.

*Important clarification so its not vague*

 

[MBTendy]

Thank god we have good forward depth, still a big loss but it won't exactly hurt us.

 

[LowSodium]

Not a great time for an injury, hopefully back before the playoffs.

 

[LT]

So that's...

Seguin
Janmark
Ritchie

Russell
Demers

All who are injured.

And yet we're 7-1-0 in our last eight.

 

[Ajacied]

I hope Johns keeps his spot on the blueline, even with Demers and Russel returning. Ruff will most definitely favor Benn, though..

Highly doubt it

 

[LT]

Ruff seems to trust Johns a fair bit, and we know he likes the LHD - RHD pairings. If anyone's gonna keep Jordie out, its Johns.

I think at worst, he's been at Jordie's level as well. Not really noticeable, but that's kind of what you want from a bottom pairing defender.

Goligoski - Klingberg
Oduya - Demers
Russell - Johns
Benn

I feel pretty damn good about that, even if we switch Benn and Johns.

We've got to keep Johns in there. I'd say keep Oduya and Johns together if you can and pair Demers and Russell.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Johns will stay. We need his size and physicality. He's playing great with Oduya also. Russell and Demers could be a really good 3rd pairing. Who knows when daddy will be back though

 

[serp]

Seperated shoulder can take a while. He's been skating for a while now IRC since his injury doesn't have that much of an impact on that . No idea how well he progressed outside of that though.

 

[serp]

Ritchie got hurt at some point during training . So it's anyones guess what happened to him.

 

[Shady Machine]

Pens fan here but Dad lives in Dallas so I follow Stars when I have time. What's up with Demers and Russell? How long are they expected to be out and what do the D pairings look like with a full healthy lineup?

I'll be in Dallas this week and going to the game vs Colorado.

Demers has a shoulder injury, Russell has a foot injury.

Both should be back right around the start of the playoffs.

We're not really sure, but possibly:

Goligoski - Klingberg
Russell - Demers
Oduya - Johns
Jo. Benn

Thanks for the response. That looks pretty good on paper.
