Rantanen was able to go through all the drills, but he was wearing a no-contact jersey. Unlike a lot of NHL teams, the Colorado Avalanche won't start their regular season until Oct. 15, so there's still a chance Rantanen will be able to play in the Avalanche's first game. "I’m getting better every day," said Rantanen. "The rehab had gone pretty well and it’s starting to feel pretty good. I just have to keep it feeling good. That’s the goal." - yahoo sports
Sucks it had to be Rantanen. Any vets miss training camp, an did not be too worried. I kinda hate for Rantanen to only get a couple of practices before his rookie season.

They let him talk to the media, that's huge to me. Even though it was a no contact practice, the fact they considered it "practicing fully" is very encouraging.

3rd or 4th line to start probably. Not a lot of info around here and several injuries things are fluid.

He did not have a high ankle sprain, he wouldn't even be on skates now. This is why I refrain from hot button injury updates, it's pointless when we don't know anything.

Maybe I missed a report refuting that it might be a high ankle sprain? Was that out there? I was speaking generally, because I hadn't seen much specifics on it. There are varying degrees of high ankle sprains in terms of severity, they're not automatic long term issues, though they can be.
It's pretty tough to roll your ankle like you would in a shoe, with a hockey skate, it usually affects the ligaments higher up. Even still, the ligaments are all connected, and with your foot fully supported in a boot when you go back to skating, the ligaments up higher are the ones that can be vulnerable. You can start off with a lower sprain, and end up with a higher sprain because the ligaments are usually tighter and more susceptible to injury.
They can even lead to groin, knee, or hip issues sometimes too. Stabilizing your foot like that, can lead to lots of other lower body issues because your foot is more or less fixed in one positions and the rest of your leg compensates by moving around. If your ankle isn't as strong as it should be it puts more strain on the rest of the leg at various places.
That said, I don't know what his exact injury was, and I didn't get the impression it was too severe.

Can someone tell me if Duchene's shoulder really will be a nagging injury all year? Do separated shoulder's heal up on their own or do they require surgery to help them fully heal? Thanks!

I can tell you it will be a nagging excuse all year, whenever he doesn't produce it will be there.

Wait, do you mean like last year when that was landeskogs never ending excuse for his production and lack of Viking mode? Must be the fan base...
