Sucks for the Dogs as they sorely need help on the PP so not getting Nygren back hurts. Odd since I just read somewhere last week that he was close to returning from his concussion.
I wouldn't assume he's done with the Habs, but we'll know by the off-season since his contract is up. No way would I give up on him although it can't be good that he's still having problems as concussions can be career killers. I think it's smart to let him take some time off, no need to rush him back if he's still having issues and no harm in having him go back home until he is 100% healthy.
btw, just because you call bs doesn't make it so. Some arguments as to why you think it's bs would be appreciated. I'm open to discuss.
It's not his fault he got a concussion, yes he left the team last year but he came back this year and was doing well up until the injury. The Habs were ready to call him up but he got injured, it's just bad luck. Nothing wrong with him going home to rest as concussions have to be taken very seriously.
Tinordi and Brolieu seem just fine to me...
depends on what your definition of fine is. Neither has done all that well in the AHL or NHL despite being top 20ish picks. Beaulieu is just starting to show some progress and yet he's still far from being a quality top 4 D. Who knows what the Habs have in Tinordi, time will tell on both but if I'm the Habs I'm not overly happy with either of them.
The Habs are cursed with Finland and Sweden, not defense.
agreed, too bad since Sweden is really turning out good players lately.
I believe you're right in that assesment but then people and management should be smart enough to realize that Nygren needs to be re-signed and given a shot at making it in the NHL, not let go of as if he was a bust. He hasnt even been given a chance to be a bust.
I don't see any reason why Nygren won't be re-signed unless his concussion issues continue or there is more to the story then what is being published.
There's no real argument for Nygren not being given a fair shake. He has played a whopping 16 AHL games last year before walking out on the team and then 15 games this year before his concussion. People act like he's toiled in the AHL for 160 games while dominating the whole time.
agreed. He should have stuck it out last year, he didn't so he had to spend time in the AHL showing he's willing to pay the price. He was doing that but ran into some bad luck. Now we'll see what happens with his future.
