Injury Report: Brett Pesce - Expected to be out long term lower body injury

[Borsig]

So not an acl

 

[A Star is Burns]

This is why it's best to just ignore Brindy on injuries.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

That sucks. But Brind'Amour was making it sound like he was going to be out for multiple months.

So 2-4 weeks with surgery, so likely some kind of break that requires a few pins? Kinda like Turbo last year and Kadri the year before (though both hands/wrists instead of lower body)

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I don't understand this.

Pesce is like what, 4m?

It gets a little more complex than this with LTIR and stuff, but simply stated, all cap space is prorated for the full season.

So, if you carry $4m in "cap space" for the whole season, then at the deadline want to add someone, since the deadline is roughly 3/4 of the way through the year you actually can add ~$16m in cap hit. It's all about how much cap space you "consume" in a given year, not how much you have on any given day.

Now, the NHL doesn't let you go the other way, you can't have more cap hit on your roster than you'd be able to handle if you don't make any more changes for the rest of the year, only to suddenly become cap compliant at the deadline by trading folks away. But they do let you make up for that "unused" cap space in a prorated way.

Someone needs to start tracking Dr. Rod's over-diagnoses. It's getting comical.

I just want one game with our whole core starting. Is that too much to ask?

 

[Joe McGrath]

Just throwing it out there … why does it matter? Broken toe, sprained knee, fractured tibia … what’s the difference ?

Because I want to know goddamnit!

Troubling news but even if we double the injury time he is back in January for the stretch run. I’d think his trade value plummets though.

We have d depth so the team will just get on with it.

Right now I’m more worried about Aho’s health given the fact they aren’t able to play him at C (plus his weaker than normal shooting).

agree -- and really if Aho is that banged up that he can't play his regular role, just keep sitting him. We'll turn things around and be able to win games without him and Pesce. I'll put way more stock into what we've seen from these guys under Rod the last 5 years than 7 games this year. under Rod we've always been able to overcome injuries. And really, as long as we get in the playoffs nothing else in the regular season matters one bit.

Before the number I was wondering about core muscle surgery. But that’s more like 6-12 weeks. Your theory makes more sense, although foot surgery would probably be longer than hand/wrist.

2-4 weeks after surgery is throwing me off.

Doctor Rod assessing Pesce for Maniscalco:

“Uh, Rod? I’m Mike.”

“Now you know how it feels.”

[Borsig]

Aho at wing is definitely concerning

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Dang. Ding ding surgery

Bro the chances of you and me getting a date with Margot Robbie are better.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Wtf ROD it's 2 to 4 weeks?! Sounds like he's not dead like he alluded to.

 

[Joe McGrath]

My guess is, Rod heard the doctor say surgery, immediately tuned out and assumed he was out for at least 2 months.

 

[Stickpucker]

Dang. Ding ding surgery

His nuts swelled to the size of cantaloupes.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

His nuts swelled to the size of cantaloupes.

Sure, “swelled.”

 

[WreckingCrew]

His nuts swelled to the size of cantaloupes.

What kind of dirty talk smut is this? This isn't the fanfic I ordered...

[BadgerCane58]

Ouch . He must have had to get a testicle removed or had a bad scrotum tear…whatever it was, it had to REALLY hurt.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Aho at wing is definitely concerning

Hand or wrist issue? He's not even taking face-offs.

I like the honesty.

Could have been arthroscopic surgery on the knee - according to a fellow I know who’s had about 27 surgeries and is very aware of recovery times.

Someone said it was a blocked shot. Broken toe/foot?
