I bet we pimp hand them even without Aho. Jordo's line is roooooooolllling and we have last change (except the second Pitt game).
Injury Report: Sebastian Aho out and day to day with Lower Body Injury

The team is steadily getting better and not having Aho seems to have made them up their defensive play a bit. We also have some guys playing better down the lineup than they have at any time this year.
As I've said all along, as long as we are well clear of the playoff line, we have the luxury of time. There's no reason to worry about most specific injuries, and definitely no reason to rush to make any roster moves.

Agreed. Patches and Aho should be fresher come playoff time than they would have been. A positive for sure.
Hopefully the LBI is not chronic this season (ie hamstring versus bone issue).

Lol at them calling it day to day
As I said earlier, same thing as when they called Freddie day to day going into the playoffs last year. Wouldn't be completely surprised if Aho is out for a month+ at this rate.

Nice, sound like he's very close to returning. With how well we're playing without him I definitely wouldn't rush it though, give him all the time he needs to get to 100%

Sounds like he's flat out ready, but Rod wants him in a practice to get him back up to speed- which means that Rod isn't feeling like getting him into the lineup is actually urgent at this stage in the season. A little bit of load management, I suppose.

Yeah, I think if we were losing games, he probably would have been rushed back. But since we're not, there's been no hurry for him to return, so they're giving him time to get to 100%

If he is so close that he just needs a "practice", why hasn't he been at any of the "skates" up until now? Or is this like Freddy when he was "close" just before the playoffs started?

I'm sure I'm putting too much into this, but part of me thinks that Rod's management of guys like Aho during injury will help us sign veteran UFAs. The word will get out that we won't rush anyone back to play if they are not 100%, and also we won't put you on LTIR if you want to play for cap reasons. I put a lot of faith in Rod, especially knowing that we won't ever just outright say what the injury is to the league, for obvious reasons.

Rod's playing on a D20 chess board.

I think he's on a Christmas cookie bender and we aren't getting the real story.

I guess there's no rush since they haven't lost since he's been out but based on what they said over the weekend I figured aho was pounding on the door to get back in

I'm sure he is. He usually seems to bounce back quickly.

Brindy was on a podcast the other day (think it was Ray and Dregs) and mentioned how they've tried to tax the guys less this year with fewer practices and morning skates. They were going with the belief that you aren't going to get much out of guys by practicing when they are tired. Quick video meetings and the guys are smart enough to implement changes in the game environment as needed. I think that's a good strategy. It does hamper your ability to bring a guy back if you require a practice, especially considering I think I saw they cancelled the practice they would have had yesterday.
I was told last week it's a hip issue for Aho, so best to ease him back gently, IMO. Hips can be tough.
