Injury Report: Maple Leafs' Petter Granberg on waivers, Reimer Lower body?

[Reddaye]

Tough break. Like many here, I expected him to compete for a roster spot this fall. Missing training camp and summer training is going to be really rough.

Hopefully he heals up properly, and doesn't have any long term issues.

 

[StuckOutHere]

I don't Loov it, but I think I know a Leafs dman who does.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Ughh damn...

 

[Pholus]

Very difficult injury to ever really get back 100% from. Biggs will fighting through the same condition. I wonder if this changes the depth enough for the Leafs to influence the draft at all.

In any case, here's an opportunity for the younger guns like Valiev, Finn, Nilson, Loov to step up for the Marlies as T.J. Brennan is likely Grannberg's replacement call-up to the Leafs.

For a guy who is not an elite skater, I'm hoping that this doesn't cost him a shot at an NHL career, never mind a spot in the NHL next season.

Also, just being picky, but Loov is only 4 months younger than Granberg.

Percy?

That's a shame. I could see Babs liking Granberg.

Good point. I see Loov needing still to refine his game in the AHL this season. He showed tons of potential but also some learning curve issues in the series against GR. His suspension and then jittery play in the last game are challenges for him to learn and build from going forward. His game is still young.

neither of them are going anywhere.

 

[Babcocks Marner]

Really sucks.

It's One of those injuries that you may never be the same afterward. Had a co-worker have the exact same injury, had the surgery, 10 years later, still walks funny.

Wish him all the best.

 

[WilliamNylander]

At least we still have robidas

 

[The_Chosen_One]

neither of them are going anywhere.

I wanted him to be ready for the season, though. Obviously it's not the end of the world.

How did this injury occur in the first place?

How did this injury occur in the first place?

Someone stepped on his foot while he was falling back. Hell, maybe he stepped forward awkwardly and his back foot was flat when stepping and with his heel touching ground, it toor the Achilles. Or maybe he was skating and had it sliced by someone.

All possible scenarios.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Is there any update on his status?

 

[champs*]

I believe he is practising with the marlies ...

Practicing with the Marlies. May even suit up with the Marlies this weekend.

Good to see he'll be back soon. Should be a nice boost to an already deep and dangerous Marlies team.

Good thing that the Leafs don't have a logjam on defence already. Does coming of a torn achilles' tendon act as enough of a deterrent that we can safely pass Granberg through waivers?

I think he'll make it through. Leafs will be able to put him on a conditioning stint with the Marlies for a couple weeks at the very least until they decide what they want to do with him.

Let's hope so. The problem with a conditioning stint is that he would still count against the NHL roster.

 

[rdogg]

I kind of forgot all about Granberg!

Glad to hear he's recovering well.

Right, forgot about that. Maybe they send him down right away then. That'd probably give them the best shot at sneaking him through, another team may not want to make a claim on a guy coming off of such a major injury.

 

[LeafChief]

I've always been impressed with Granberg's play on the Marlies but never too excited about his play with the Leafs.

How does he stack up vs. Harrington, Marincin and Corrado?

I've liked Harrington more. I haven't seen Corrado this year yet and Maincin has been brutal.
