Kind of good news in that they can protect an extra nhl waiver player after camp.

Dahlen has mono too iirc?

Dahlen has mono too iirc?

Yes, he does - thanks for reminding me.

Of course he does.

 

[President of Hockey]

Of course he does.

At least no mumps until now...

Sven Baertschi, one little body contact and he leaves feeling sick.
Sound familiar? Concussion symptoms, dizzy, fever (sometimes), upset stomach.
He had back to back concussions at the end of last year and each one after is easier and magnified.
Maybe it was just the flu but right after being bumped/hit?

All to fuel our glorious Orca III Tank

[PG Canuck]

I hope he emerges with the C.

Oh wait...I'm getting word Henrik is still on the team..?

News to me!

Eff eff eff on Edler............Our team just isn't good enough to sustain these types of injuries. I was hoping to live under the delusion that we were not a horrible team at least for a few months or so. This certainly isn't going to help that

 

[NoShowWilly]

so 14-20 games missed for Edler. what else is new?

can not get by with Tanev, Edler, and Gudbranson at the top of the lineup defensively. Del Zotto looks to get hurt with regularity as well.

This is to be expected. If we were in a position to compete for and in the playoff, this would be a setback, but as it is, it just means more opportunity for Stetcher, Hutton and Del Zotto and maybe a chance to see if Travis Green can turn around Pouliot's trajectory.

There could even be a silver lining if we are out of the playoff picture by January, maybe Dim Jim might not sell the farm at the TDL to save his job.

So Edler out with MCL huh. Hope he recovers well.

 

[JuniorNelson]

Edler out isn't the end of the season. It's significant but also opens the door for changes. Canucks might find good fits for some of Edler's minutes and take some of the pressure off him?

Why would that happen this time?

Would be a possibility if we had pieces with that kind of potential.

 

[JuniorNelson]

They could just get lucky. I love Edler and he is a horse but he doesn't enhance the offense from the point. He is no Salo. Canucks have some offensive defensemen. Somebody has to draw in.

Who exactly?

 

[VanJack]

So Eriksson joins Edler on the injured list.....but that's what happens to players over 30....the injuries start piling up....Sedins are really the exception rather than the rule. But that Eriksson signing has the potential to be the worst UFA signing in team history.

The conventional wisdom was that Eriksson would score at a decent pace early in the six year deal, but that Canucks would have to accept a drop-off by the he hit 35.....but can you imagine now what that deal will look like by then?....Egawd!

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Hopefully Eriksson's injury isn't serious enough to keep him out for an extended period. I'd hate to see the raid on Utica start this early.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Hmm. This post was meant for another thread. Strange.
