Injury Report: Samuel Morin, Torn ACL

[Magua]

It’s going to make a lot of sense to them to bring Manning back

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Sanheim had his little time-share thing with ManDog before getting in Hakstol's -- don't say dog house -- dog house.

I'm not sure they would have Myers break camp to be the #7 going in and out. That wasn't the GM's plan with Sanheim to sit for that long either. For Myers to split-start, another prospect would also have to exit the lineup. It'd be messy. It doesn't have to do with Myers and him avoiding the Sanheimian double standard, which I think he will in part, but the other players on the roster.

We all know a lineup of Provy-Ghost/Sanheim-Gudas/Mac (read: de Haan)-Myers is probably the best lineup, but Hagg has to find his way out of their good graces long-term. Good luck with that. I still mildly worry about a Gudas trade to free up that spot, but they're so veteran-mad it fortunately is unlikely. It's easiest to me to see them just stick Myers back down waiting for an injury. It's a proven method for decision making.

The mouthpiece narrative is different, I must admit. It's more akin to how they spoke about Hagg at the end of last year than Sanheim.

I guess the secondary discussion here is what Myers has to do on the ice to stay in the lineup once he gets there because I agree with all of this. Is it as simple as hoping for puck luck? I wish I had a better feel for whether they would prioritize pairing construction or playing the 6 best as they see them. Transition years are tricky for that. I'm not sure they know.

Myers will be great #7 next year.

 

[Curufinwe]

Great write-up from BSH.

One of Morin’s more prominent knocks against him has been his skating, and this injury most definitely will play a factor into that as well.

 

[kelmitchell]

Does any of this happen had he started the year in the Flyers Top 6 like he deserve to be? Probably not. But hey, at least we got to watch the last 65 games of Mannings NHL career.

This means we bring manning back for 5 years

 

[deadhead]

All you have to do is watch Sanheim in the AHL to know why he gets them nervous.

Myers tries to do too much at times, but to be fair, that was the only way they were moving the puck up ice.
But he's more physical than Sanheim, and that's one of the things they're looking for, especially in the D-zone.

If they want another D-man like Ghost, they can just trade Sanheim for a skilled, small defenseman with speed, agility and skill.
They would like to see Sanheim play up to his size.

 

[Rebels57]

It’s going to make a lot of sense to them to bring Manning back and we can’t say for sure they weren’t already in the business of upgrading the position. They’re going to want someone they see as reliable to fill that role at a low cost and Manning has been their guy for that for a few years now.

Not if they want a defensemen that doesn't suck.

 

[sigma six]

Hated this news. Kid was finally working his way back and I feel awful for him.

 

[wasup]

You are starting to get on the ice in the 5th month to do some light skating and can get to more normal skating after the 6th month . Then you are another two months getting it out of your head that you can trust it. Its a shitty long injury but will come back fully it's just a matter of time.

 

[bauer]

hope this means Myers can now crack the top 6 at camp. let Hagg or AMac be the 7.

Wouldn’t have made the playoffs without his added locker room presence.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

This is disappointing. Hopefully it's November and not February.

So you changed your mind on the "Sanheim will be a bigger Ghost so Ghost becomes tradable"?

As weird as it sounds, February is actually better in the long run as Magua posted. Throw him in the AHL for conditioning, then he can be on the roster the rest of the year without having to expose him to waivers. If he comes back in November, then at some point, a decision has to be made.


Oh, and to everyone, sorry again that I jinxed him by changing my avatar to him to start the season. Doomed!

I'd imagine Ghost is quite valuable around the league nevermind his contract. I like Sanheim but I don't think you'd get a Ghost like player for him right at the moment. It was possible for him to lead the league in points this year. Sanheim could get to that point of value but I don't think he's there as of now.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Perhaps a vocation of sitting in an empty room is safest and best for Sam.

 

[deadhead]

Myers is going to start, they like him, they'll rag him for trying to do too much on offense, and slobber over him being physical on defense.

 

[Striiker]

I guess it’s Myers>Sanheim>Ghost

 

[boxcar65]

Tough break for Samuel. I was looking forward to him making it out of camp next season.

Even though it would be awesome for Manning to come back, I don't think it's in the cards. I'd still rather have him in the lineup than Hagg or Gudas, but the Dog is probably heading somewhere out west. We shall see after July 1 where he lands.

 

[baudib1]

I hate this news so much.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I'd take Manning back as team mascot or something.

 

[Tripod]

It essentially wipes away 2 years girl him. It really sucks.

But it's also why trading any of the young D for a forward made no sense endless of course you trade the right one.

Add a few more Dmen at the draft to start building up again.

 

[magnumpi]

So, Manning is going to be resigned.

And by November Hakstol will be using the same defensive lineup that he did last year.

Another year in the AHL for Sanheim and Myers.

 

[The Madrigal]

February is probably optimistic. That would be about 8 months from the time of the injury.

Sounds about right.

Good thing im cutting the cord before the season starts.

Just f***ing stop it, ok? It’s not funny.

Seriously.

I mean. Come on.
