As he said in that interview it's nothing to worry about. It's clear that the team wants him to start skating but he wants to wait a few more days. Then you heard his plan, wants to play a couple of games at the end of regular season to get in shape for the playoffs.

A zoomed in frame of the same picture doesnt change the point i was trying to make. Id be willing to guess that its the angle of the photo thats making it look THAT BAD. Change angles im sure it would look completely different. Now that doesnt mean that the ankle could still be swollen from his injury.
I'm just saying I think no matter the angle, it's looking unnaturally wide.
Could be due to a brace

Next step would be contact I assume. It's one thing to put your body weight on your ankle, another thing to also put someone else's on it.
Internet jumps to conclusions based on grainy/far from clear picture and Kaprizov comes out the next day and does that

He didn't want more negative speculation, time to show them...Internet jumps to conclusions based on grainy/far from clear picture and Kaprizov comes out the next day and does that
Maybe it would be better if the team was more open about injuries. But I'd say it has something to do with the law, shouldn't publish ones medical records.

The internet these days is something else. Before the raise of social media, I remember on this site, when Granlund was a prospect we were debating if he was a smoker because he a a big rectangle object in his jeans pocket in a street picture.Internet jumps to conclusions based on grainy/far from clear picture and Kaprizov comes out the next day and does that
In a sport where your opponents can actively target your injuries without repercussions, it makes perfect sense to be as discrete as possible, in this case it’s pretty obvious but still in the Wild and Kaprizov’s best interest to remain tight lipped about the extent of the injury.

They aren't specific about the injury because they don't need to be specific about it.
Doesn't mean he wasn't wearing a brace or something in that image.Internet jumps to conclusions based on grainy/far from clear picture and Kaprizov comes out the next day and does that
Nothing to do with that, it's NHL policy not to disclose specific injuries so as the player doesn't get targeted.
NFL, MLB, NBA always gives specifics on injuries.
Watching Robertson blow past 100 makes me kind of sad to see Kaprizov's season end prematurely. He'll be back for the playoffs but man it'd been nice to see him hit 50 goals and 100 points again this season. More so Robertson shows how important it is to have a skilled center. Zuccs is no slouch but he's a notch below Pavs.

Neither is Pavelski currently, so he was probably just comparing wingers there.

It's interesting to realize that Kap basically turns 0.5 point players into PPG players. Imagine what he could do with another PPG player.
Forgot Pavs is now on wing. But still Hintz is better than what we have at center and Pavs is better than Zuccs.

I'm surprised that Pavelski is only 6 points ahead of Zuccarello. Played 2 more games and has Robertson on his line who just reached 100 points.
