2015-16 Canucks Injury Thread

[VanJack]

Well, looking at it positively, Desjardins will be forced to use both Virtanen and MCann at the same time now...or are we going to see more of Adam Cracknell?....sure hope not....if the tank is unofficially on, then play both the kids...what have you got to lose?

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Is it bad that I'm happy???

Sedin-Sedin-Hansen
Bae-Bo-Virtanen
Burrows-McCann-Vrbata
Etem-Vey-Dorsett
Cracknell

Hamhuis-Tanev
Hutton-Sbisa
Bartkowski-Biega


Maybe we pick Ehrhoff up off of Waivers??

The hockey gods are on Team Tank.

That's against the rules. Seriously.

I can't figure that out, lower face and neck protection should be mandatory, I'm waiting for somebody to take a slap shot in the neck which would kill you.

I think that just happened a week ago. Can't remember the league, KHL maybe?

1040 just reported 6 to 8 weeks for Sutter, 6 weeks for Edler.

Sutter is the perfect example of why you don't rush to sign middle-six "shutdown" players. After the season he just had a good GM could have probably got him to take a paycut instead of a massive raise and full NTC.

That's easy to say now. Sutter went into the season with no history of being injured and looking at a big opportunity offensively.

Yeah, but signing a guy that far in advance should come with a tangible discount because of the insurance it provides to the player. Virtually the entire risk of signing that early was borne by the team and they got nothing out of it, save for some cost certainty on a contract that looked overpriced the day it was signed.

When you sign a guy a year in advance and give him a retroactive NTC he shouldn't be near the top of the payscale for his class of player like Sutter is. Now with the cap potentially going down it's looking like an even worse deal.

 

[iceburg]

wow...that truly sucks for Sutter (no pun intended). A year to forget.

Be interesting to see how the D fares without Edler.

Certainly a lock now for the defence to have their worst offensive production year in team history.

 

[iceburg]

13 goals in 324 games is pretty remarkable. You'd think they'd get that by accident. When a team is collectively that bad it is the system more than the players.

What happend to Bo and Hammer? Man o man we need Hammer playing good games upping his value. And Bo is the anti tank so i dont mind him resting a few games

Bo is pro-tank. Sure he's lighting it up, but in return he's willingly letting his +/- take a hit. Stealth.

 

[M2Beezy]

Anyone here how long vrbata is out for? Long term??

 

[DL44]

I'm on pins and needles waiting for this Vrbata update...

I did not like the intensity of vibration that knee took with that rut... screams ligament damage.

 

[BeardedCanuck]

Nothing confirmed but hopefully this is true.

 

[M2Beezy]

Nothing confirmed but hopefully this is true.

Great now we can get back to trading him for high picks if polack got 2 2nds maybe we can get 3 2nds!!

 

[NuxFan09]

On Bartkowski...

 

[M2Beezy]

On Bartkowski...
