Prospect Info: 2018 NHL Draft / Pick #22 - K'Andre Miller (D) - Part II

[Synergy27]

I guess we're all just hoping beyond hope that K isn't just the next in a long line of really promising kids to have their careers derailed early by injury. If the Rangers luck was just bad instead of terrible, they'd probably be known as a pretty good drafting team.

f***.

 

[Hire Sather]

Not even slightly concerned. In 2 years when he’s manning our blue line nobody will even remember this.

I guess you've never heard of Stefan Cherneksi

Glad to see the Rangers beat writers are on top of this

Actually one of the beat writers asked the team about about the injury and posted it on his twitter feed. Before you posted.

edit: I misread Colin Stephenson, this post has been corrected.

I have and I know he was carried off the ice. The whole arena heard him screaming in pain. Cherneksi's knee cap was broken in like six places.

So basically it's too swollen so they are waiting for the swelling to go down. Guess it's too close to the playoffs so they aren't going to tell us much. "lower body injury".

Based on my experience, if something was broken it would be known by now. Xrays can determine a bone break. The issue is when it’s a soft tissue injury, the swelling gets in the way. Basically, I think there no break, may be either ligament or contusion

Yeah. A break should be pretty clear at this point. So hard to speculate though. I’m still in Fingers-Crossed mode.

 

[Riche16]

Doesn't sound too bad (fingers crossed)

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I'd tell my sister to go find him and ask him....but unfortunately she graduated with Stepan (well went with him, i dont know when Step actually graduated).

 

[Kovalev27]

If it’s ligament damage they usually have To wait for swelling to go down. If that’s the case it’s bad bad bad.

If he’s just sore then Christ we’re lucky

 

[Machinehead]

Well at this point it could go either way. This is either nothing or extremely serious.

Anything middle ground would have been determined by now.

It didn't look bad but I've seen ligaments snap just by stepping backwards

I think the extremely serious can be counted out as well (as in career altering.)

Its either a bone bruise or something of that ilk imo. Someone else mentioned that he may have torqued his hip on the impact so I wouldn't rule that out either.

When I broke my kneecap It didn’t show on the initial X-ray because of the swelling and the fact that I couldn’t get my knee straight. It only showed on an mri.

Was a crack or a bad break? (Sorry for using such techy jargon

Large fracture not a complete break. Long recovery time but not the trust issues on the leg you get with the tendon and ligament tears.

What worries me is that it looks like his body was perpendicular to the orientation of the knee. By that, I mean that this knee almost looked to be in a twisted position when it made contact with the boards from him trying to re-orient himself, turning what might have been a bump and a bruise into something far more serious due to the pressure on the ligaments.

Very concerning.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Remember when Zibby destroyed his leg and everyone thought he died?

He was back like 6 weeks later and was our best player in the playoffs

I'm not gonna freak out until I have a reason to

Just saying, a top prospect leaves the game with what looks like a serious knee injury.. fans who assume the worst, like me, will think of that.

More than likely, his career is not over.. true.

Are you a roadie for The Rolling Stones

I’m going to ignore this theory. I prefer the bone-bruise and he’s-really-sore ones. Thanks

And honestly that looked 10 times worse.

Larry Brooks reporting in an article tonight that probably not as bad as first thought.
