Well, that might close the book on him......I think he's going to be in Seattle next year.

Still to early to say that. But doesn’t look good.

Why would this close the books?

Think about it as it actually buys him more time. It can serve as a hard reset and the Hawks can rebuild the mental side while he rehabs.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Really rough for Nylander...but we'll probably get to re-sign him for league minimum now

This is a huge setback for him...If Hawks are trash and org cleans house after season then there might be a GM coming in that wants no part of him being in org long term...

 

[Hawkaholic]

Meh

Still will be qualified. The guy has talent.

If, if, if. (I 100% get what you are saying so don't take this as snobby as it is not intended that way and I know it comes off that way).

It seems more likely that they are going see this through and it will buy him at least a year after his injury.

Subject Change.

When do you guys think it happened?

There was a tweet somewhere that said it happened in the playoffs, and they tried a conservative treatment first.

Most likely, its near certainty hes given a QO with Bowman in charge but that obv drops with a new front office...This is a huge setback in what looks like a development year to be out the entire year, he was likely to get another solid opportunity with arguably a weaker forward group vs last season...but it being a setback is something we all clearly agree on

Happened in the playoffs. Tried to rehab it but it didn’t respond well

 

[ClydeLee]

Just in time for the playoffs? Lol nah.

So does this mean he won't be eligible for expansion or maybe makes him less likely to be taken. Could help lead the team to choosing 8skater route

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Yeah, the guy has talent but I think he will be exposed in the expansion draft and I think Seattle will take either him or de Haan.

Should be eligible because of games played

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nope they want Seabrook

 

[ClydeLee]

Isn't there an issue about currently injured players being selected though? Or i guess that is up for the team to take the risk

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Yeah, the guy has talent but I think he will be exposed in the expansion draft and I think Seattle will take either him or de Haan.

If they go the LV route De Haan will have a year left on his deal and could return a decent package if hes healthy...Nylander probably has very little value atm...Healthy De Haan probably fetches a 2nd at tdl as a rental...

Idk about that.....is there?

Not sure but I would expect he will fully healthy by the expansion draft

You’re so quick to rule things over.

If you were a doctor, you’d run around declaring people dead over broken fingers and toes haha.

Is it just that you want to be the first person to “call something right” so you can brag about it later?

No....I just think that there's a strong chance that he's gone to Seattle next year.
Nylander and de Haan are the key targets for them......I'd think they'd go with the younger kid that doesn't have a huge cap hit, but what do I know? Nylander is exactly the type of player that expansion drafters usually target.

 

[Drumman44]

This gives Strome a bit more leverage I would say. I know Nylander doesn’t play center but they were still jockeying for similar ice time

 

[Mrfenn92]

Wishing Alex a speedy recovery. I still like him as a player. Think the guy has the talent to play in this league.

I do too, I just don't know if it's here.
