Any actual update on Malkin?
Seems like he's been skating for weeks, how far away is he?
He travelled with the team to Carolina. He took part in practice but not the rushes.

besides, there are varying degrees of 100%. I think it would be a bit foolish to assume he doesn't lose some speed from this, and that's a major issue since the only thing Dupuis has going for him (other than his work ethic) is his speed.

Exactly, outside of Adrian Peterson I have not seen anyone be 100% from an ACL in less than 1 full year (see RGIII this season).

Uhh did we all forget Evgeni Malkin tearing his ACL/MCL and coming back the next year with the best season of his career?
Malkin did miss some games earlier in that season because the knee was giving him some issues. In fact, even in the games he did play he was rather meh until December. That's when he really turned it on. I think we also have to consider that Malkin is younger than Dupuis and is a much better player.
Hopefully he comes back and plays out the rest of his contract as an overpaid 3rd liner. Still love Duper.
The way the cap's going, even if he loses a step he may not be overpaid for long.
We wanted it when we have some other guys healthy.
I think that really depends on how he declines, especially after this injury.

Ray Shero on timing of Dupuis injury: "If this injury happens after the trade deadline, it’s much more of a problem.â€
Man, I forgot about this one--look what an ACL tear did to Dustin Jeffrey.

Click the OT goal.
He didn't move anything like that after he rehabbed his knee.

Coming from Shero regarding a guy the organization thinks very highly of, that comes off as very cold. He does speak the truth though.

At 35 a ACL tear could very well be career ending.
