Is everybody still freaking out over not picking Tyler Benson?

The "draft by positional need" crew probably, yes. But should be less "BPA" people freaking out now.

 

[Macallan18]

Broken leg.

[crump]

That looked nasty. Reboot next season I guess.

 

[Xscout*]

****.
Season over.
He was definitely making progress.

 

[Walshy7]

damn, i was really looking forward to the updates on this guy he seemed to be working it out. Oh well get better and come back next season with a vengeance

 

[Leaf Lander]

Thats what happens when you draft old men

****!!!

Hope he makes a full recovery. Can anyone care to take a guess if there's knee, mcl, acl, etc damage?. Hope it doesn't affect his skating...

 

[Hoverhand]

He was over .5 ppg, despite playing on the third line.

What a shame.

 

[supermann_98]

Damn that really sucks for the kid. Look how long it took Stamkos to get back to full speed.

Maybe because he's younger he'll heal quicker, ala Marcus Stroman on the Jays

His KHL contract is for this year and next right? So in theory he'll be back there next yer for his last year of KHL before (likely) joining the Leafs or Marlies?

Lol, yeah. Should have drafted Tyler Benson...wait, he gets injured too..

Correct

**** when I originally saw the hit I was going to post I think he broke his leg but I didnt wanna be that guy

 

[schenneuf]

I wonder what the real diagnosis is? Which bone? Was there damage to the knee? ACL? MCL?

 

[htpwn]

Urgh.

This is awful.

We've seen injuries like this derail careers.

 

[BigBlu]

Hopefully Russian doctors know how to re-set broken legs.

 

[Number13]

Hopefully Russian doctors know how to re-set broken legs.

Maybe theyll fly him to get him top of the line surgery in CAN/USA?

 

[Stephen]

Damn, you never want to see that happen to anyone. Wouldn't even wish that on Alex Burrows.

let's not make hasty decisions now...

 

[mikeo1]

Eh, hard to tell from that low res video what exactly happened. Anyone have a better video?
An isolated broken tibia/fibular is really not a big deal. Hell, if its an isolated fibula injury it barely even counts as a broken bone.

 

[Walshy7]

i saw a tweet (i think mirtle) saying he was having one of the best U21 seasons in the KHL of all time is that true?

 

[saltming]

I think you forgot the lol or sarcasm emoji.
I hope you forgot.

True enough!

Don't know specifically about this (or the criteria used to make this claim) but he was 2nd amongst all U21's from this season. So that's good numbers in that sense.

yeah i saw that too but i couldnt find where or how he worked out all time. I will take a top 5 u21 player in the K in a season from a 2nd round pick anyday. Hopefully next season he takes off where he left off
