Injury Report: Johnson neck surgery, Murphy concussion protocol

[Hawkaholic]

I'm sure having a herniated disk in his neck, which has likely been an injury he has had for a while, hasn't affected his play at all. Some of you need to try a bit harder to hide the fact that you've never played a competitive sport in your lives.

Pretty sure he hasnt played since he got the injury.

Pretty sure you are clueless. Medical staff has said they’ve been working on it for quite some time using various treatments and they didn’t work.

We are assuming this is an injury he sustained here, and not one that got worse while playing here. To the point it needed surgery. How long did Eichel play with his neck injury? I don't know when the injury happened, but this is an injury a lot of guys play through, until they can't.

Ben Pope tweeted when the injury happened. I think it was against Carolina, I'll try to find it when I'm back on my PC.

It's been weeks since he was out, that's what they're referring too. They kept trying things to get him back before deciding on surgery.

hope they do something nice with that 2nd round pick from Tampa because the Johnson trade is looking like a disaster with 2 more years at 5m+ per

...what?

 

[Toews2Bickell]

...what?

what exactly did you not understand

 

[ClydeLee]

what exactly did you not understand

That you don't get it's entirely a capsaving trade. They gained a pick... and saved 2mil. There's no, oh the trade could be a disaster because of 5Mil... They saved, because it's cheaper by Seabs. Even if their 2nd rounder is the worst pick of all time, they gained more capsavings.

 

[Pez68]

Plus, they can just put him on LTIR... What a weird take.

 

[BK]

what exactly did you not understand

It is more of you not understanding the situation then Clyde not uderstanding.

 

[Pez68]

It is more of you not understanding the situation then Clyde not uderstanding.

I mean, they dumped the Seabrook deal for a 2nd round pick, and a guy who might be on LTIR the rest of his time here, too... How could the trade be a "disaster"? Lol

 

[Toews2Bickell]

they have 5m cap hit on books for two more years, what so complicated to understand about this, they better get a decent player from that pick, its fairly simple

 

[Hawkaholic]

Johnson will be back in 3 months. Hes not going on LTIR for the next 2 years.

They traded MORE cap in that trade than they are paying with Johnson... The trade was saving around 2 million in cap.

seabrook is in ltiretirement so hes 0 cap dollars, johnson had 3 years left at 5 per, and tampa is right up against the cap every year and made it work with seabrook being on ltir day one of season

Well, not mine. That's what the Blackhawks said.

and here is his injury that I alluded to earlier.

Oof. That's nasty.

I was referring to him being back in 3 months, and not eventually LTIRetiring because of the injury. We will see.

Yeah, I don't see him not coming back. No reason he can't, other than he sucks already, so if he's any worse, he'll be AHL bound.

Isn't this the a similar possibly risky surgery that Buffalo didn't want Eichel to have? To just accept a disc replacement surgery to be certain and fine with a 3 month timeline to return is no gaurnetee

Vegas seemed pretty confident in it.

Well in Vegas they are known to gamble lol

 

[featherhawk]
