Our 2 top ten picks have broken their wrists. Awesome. Terrible hockey injury to have.
Not really unless there is ligament/tendon damage.

This and what bothers me about Z going for hits so often is he frequently will make a hit or play, then clearly be looking around not knowing what happened the last couple seconds of knowing where the play and puck are at. His IQ is not great at being able to lay a hit and be aware of what is happening while next while doing it.I mostly agree with him there. I think you need smart physicality.
Stillman trying to take the body on the Point wrap around last night rather than knocking the puck away or trying to block it is a perfect example of dumb physicality. His instinct to just hit the guy cost him time and left the window open for Point to score.
Compete level matters, battling for the puck along the boards matters, standing in front of the goalie and tipping pucks/cleaning up rebounds matters. Hitting guys just so you can say you're a physical team or make highlight reels doesn't matter much to me.
You need guys with size and strength to do some of those things I mentioned, but a guy like Shaw always showed that even small guys can do it. You also need guys that can do those things with a high hockey IQ, and not just be a caveman on the ice.

Affects so many things from faceoffs to shooting to passing, sometimes they are residual and obviously that depends on the ligaments like BK said.It's not a terrible hockey injury to have at all. One of the easiest to recover from, actually.

Not once it's fully recovered. It didn't look that bad.
A broken wrist is often accompanied by other damage. Lets hope it was a clean break.
Beats reporting likely won't need surgery which is good. I think that makes it closer to a two-month injury so that gives him some time to get ready for the season.It looked like his hand was dangling and pretty bad to me. With that said there could still be no ligament damage or need for surgery which would be great, but we will have to wait and see. No way to draw any conclusions from the very little we could see on the broadcast.

eh not really. a dislocation is often associated with other damage. a simple break is often just that.
I've played with a number of guys with wrist breaks that were back out playing in 4-6 weeks once the cast was off
