Sorry for the guy, but happy we get to work on our D combinations..and maybe a trade in the air?

Ends worry that Stanley might be benched when Beaulieu returns.

Good thing he got his expansion draft games in before this.

Good thing he got his expansion draft games in before this.

If his injury is deemed potentially career-threatening, he won't meet the expansion draft requirement. I have no idea how they would adjudicate that in this case. But surgery for a torn shoulder labrum is not a simple injury.

 

[Hunter368]

Sad news to see anyone injured. It does open up more options for trade bc of LTIR and cap. Hope he heals up for next year.

I know this guy is maligned on here and I get it but he is a warrior and by all accounts a great teammate.

I wish him the best of luck with surgery and I hope he has a full recovery.

What is a Labrum?

The labrum is a cup-shaped rim of cartilage that lines and reinforces the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder. The shoulder joint is composed of the glenoid (the shallow shoulder "socket") and the head of the upper arm bone known as the humerus (the "ball")

As has been mentioned, I'm really sorry to hear his season is done and he needs surgery. :-O

However, as also been mentioned, it opens up the possibility of getting an upgrade to our D core.

Please, just don't trade Heinola, Perfetti, or our first for a rental (long term package can be acceptable).

 

[dcypher]

At least we're halfway there with Stanley in now. We just need Cup now.

Recovery can take a while after labrum surgery, but it is not uncommon and shouldn't be career-threatening.

My recollection is that he was put on IR for a HAND injury due to blocking a shot. I suspect the torn labrum was a chronic thing and they have done shoulder surgery while the hand heals to serve other needs, namely:
-making him healthy early enough to be eligible for the expansion draft
-freeing cap space for a trade
-taking him out after his utilization has been high, making him look more valuable than he really is
-freeing up room for Stanley, who has now proven himself to be a more than adequate replacement

Any GM that trades those two would need to take a long walk off a short pier....

Tough luck for him but Stanley now gets to run with it and establish himself as a member of this team going forward.

Hey, maybe he was playing shitty because his shoulder was all f***ed up, not because he hates your favourite hockey team.

The difference in value of Perfetti or Heinola and a late first round pick in a weak draft is giant.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Glad to hear that Beaulieu is getting the medical attention and rest he deserves. Get well soon, buddy.

Glad that fate has effectively avoided an inevitable future bad decision by Maurice to play Beaulieu in big minutes for the rest of the year and throughout the playoffs.

I thought it was one of the TSN insiders

Gotta wonder

Quite sorry to hear about this as well. Beaulieu finished last season looking like he'd earned a permanent spot on the team but looked like the worst player on the ice fr most games this season.

If this injury had been a nagging one, it perhaps explains some of his play. Further if he was playing through to get help the Jets meet expansion requirements, he certainly did the team an enormous favour.

The only other defensemen meeting exposure requirements are Morrissey & Demelo. He'll be healthy by the time of the expansion draft serving as the player that meets expansion requirements.

In all likelihood he's going to LTIR now, so Chevy can set his sights higher on a bigger, perhaps even multiple fish.

Personally hoping for a top four right shooting defensemen and a right shooting depth forward.

Hope Booboo heals up but to me his shoulder wasn't a issue it was his skating and decision making . Again hope he makes a full recovery but Stanley is already better , to me anyway.

Not a simple surgery - but I think it is common enough that it is not usually considered career threatening. Correct me if I am wrong there.

Depends on the return - always.

You were thinking of Pierre Labrum?

Agree. Good luck to him for a full recovery, but not sure why he was in the lineup over Stanley after reaching his XD games requirement some weeks ago while playing with a preexisting, shoulder injury -- generally addressable with good outcomes but can be tricky.

Yeah, taking one for the team, but why?

Because, while his uneven on-ice play may have hurt the team, his sacrifices help "the room." Here's PoMo waxing eloquent on the subject"

Head coach Paul Maurice said the 28-year-old had been playing with the ailment prior to breaking a bone in his hand, which was the injury that caused him to come out of the line-up on Mar. 9 in Toronto.

"Three broken bones last year, another one this year, the shoulder, scratching and clawing to kind of be a player for us. He's a really important part of that room because of it," said Maurice. "The people that invest a lot, that give a lot to their teammates, are always the ones that you, it's so painful when they go down."

Beaulieu has surgery on torn labrum, out for the rest of the season

His injury benefits the team but I never wish for ill health on anyone... it's not a good thing to happen, even if there is a positive outcome in one specific aspect as an aside.
