Injury Report: 2017-18 Season: Varly out Reg season, EJ out 6-8 weeks

Bednar is an idiot. Everybody knows. Kerfoot deserves to play. Greer is great but will likely always be a bottom six forward. Never been much of a scorer.

if the coach isnt willing to play kerfoot he will difinitly not play kamenev

He has to play somebody now Duchene is gone. He has to play the NHL-ready top prospects sooner or later if he wants to keep his job. There's a reason why Kamenev was part of this trade.

Nothing wrong. But I like him on the wing. He can still take faceoffs as a winger.

Bednar will decide

Compher IIRC was due to be out for at least another 10-14 days. He can skate he just can't do anything else with the broken thumb. As for Jost I didn't think we had much of a timeline for him, he could be back sooner.

Apparently they were fitting Compher for a specific cast so he could play.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

What's wrong with Lindholm's hand?

Edit that's Bourque. My bad.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Broken Jaw

Is that safe?

So...Was browsing cap friendly, and it shows Nieto as on IR. Anyone know whats going on with that or are they just incorrect? I thought he was just sick.

He's not on the NHL.com roster sheets from the previous two games. I think they put him there to buy themselves roster space if they needed it. He should be fine.

In one of Moser's tweeted pics from today or yesterday, it showed the beginning or end of practice with Zadorov on the ice and Compher looking as though he was practicing. Grimaldi and Nieto were fully dressed and were on the bench and Nieto appeared to be a full practice participant.

 

[Avs_19]

Still feel terrible for him. He finally gets the opportunity he has been looking for and doesn't even last a game.

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Just plain aweful luck.

Do we have timelines for any of these injured guys?

 

[Foppberg]

Any update on how long he'll be out for?

Not officially, but the usual time table for a broken bone is 6-8 weeks. Depends on how bad the break is though.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I don't envy Vlad...he's going to be getting a LOT of skating in while he rehabs.

 

[GeniusSuperior]

Being in the hospital and all, did he have surgery?

That's a good point. If it was a complete break that needed surgery to fix, that adds weeks to the recovery time.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Wife says it is very likely he had surgery, judging from picture.

 

[tigervixxxen]

There's really a question about that?

 

[GeniusSuperior]

There's really a question about that?

Well, I haven’t seen anything concrete and don’t want to jump to conclusions, so why not ask for clarity? I would guess yes, but I’m no doc.

3 to 4 weeks for a finger , 6 to 8 for leg , depends but he will absolutely have had surgery as he's not a forklift driver
