Injury Report: Conor Timmins potentially out long-term with lower body injury

[ACC1224]

Have they given any update on a potential return? Must be getting close.

All I can find is 'week to week' with return in Nov. But he must be close you're right.

I'm guessing he hasn't started skating yet or we would have heard.

Even if he was healthy and they sent down Minten to the CHL or Holmberg to the AHL, they wouldn't have enough cap space for Timmins, unless there's some loophole I don't know about.

I'd put Reaves on waivers, knowing no one will put in a claim given his 3 year term. Wait for an injury to bring Reaves back. But Treliving probably won't do that to a vet.

20 man roster is the only way. I'd assume hell get some conditioniconditioning games with the Marlies before he's activated.

"I wouldn't say he close (to returning to the lineup) at this point," Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said of Timmins. "The plan at this point is he’ll come with us to Sweden and start to put a ramp up practices there. I don't think there's a plan for him to play anytime soon or on that trip."

Sounds to me like he should be back in December at some point. Practicing is a good first step. But maybe they push his come back to 2024.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

UPDATE?

[Sypher04]

Lol I’m not sure what value this line is supposed to provide.

“Sheldon Keefe seemed to open a bit of a door on Saturday that the defenseman might be able to return at some point soon. “

Because we thought his career was over lol
Very poorly worded

 

[TMLAM34]

If he’s wearing a regular practice jersey, means he’s very close to returning.

What does Timmins return do to the cap?

What does Timmins return do to the cap?

Leafs will only be able to carry 21 players like pre Liljegren injury.

When Liljegren comes back... I don't think the Leafs can carry more than 20 players as far as I know.

Sooooo this is when Reaves gets waived?! Lol

Something will have to give. I don't think you can rely on players going on LTIR to save your cap depth.

If they waive Reaves they can keep 21 guys up

Knies Matthews Marner
Bertuzzi Tavares Nylander
Robertson Domi Jarnkrok
McMann Kampf Gregor

Rielly Brodie
McCabe Liljegren
Gio Klingberg
Timmins

Samsonov
Woll

Cap space 268k

lol yeah very poorly worded, it’s like he’s open to the possibility of him returning sometime in the near or long term future, but will neither confirm nor deny if and when.

Fingers crossed

Made of glass. Useless.

Made of glass. Useless.

People said the same thing about Robertson and countless other players. The reality is if you don’t get hurt in sports it’s purely luck.

I expect him to prove everyone wrong yet again once healthy.

Sort of like your opinion...

Certainly luck plays a role, but there's a reason some guys get hurt a lot and others hardly ever. Whether it's putting yourself in bad positions or just not being willing to play through something.

I was here during the heated "Carlo Colaiacovo injury prone vs unlucky" debates. I've never seen a guy with visible agony on his face as often as Carlo. Almost every game he would look like he was in extreme pain after some hit or fall. Some of the time he was completely fine, some of the time he was back on the IR. Or outside hockey, Tulowitzki would stumble or lightly bump someone or something else completely innocuous and then miss 40 games with a strained muscle, the type of thing that might be a single game off or at DH for another player..
