How did Minty get hurt? I missed the Edmonton game and most of the Vancouver game.

Minty's leg was the victim of a friendly fire on an Ozone point shot, iirc.

This is why I’m cutting this team including the rookies and even Cronin some slack, even though I don’t think he is the right fit for us. Have to see how they can do with a close to healthy roster next year, and with more depth.

Adding players will help with those depth issues….Imagine we have Gauthier and another Top 6 winger next season, we could get by with a couple or even a few injuries, but now, not so much.

Same applies to the D

We're gonna be adding Luneau to our defensive core next year, so that's depth. Lindstrom being sneaky better than expected is already showing up added depth this year.

At forward, we're going to be adding Cutter, which is already a huge deal to our top-6. If we're going to land a top-6RW, then that would spell the forward FA acquisitions of Vatrano, Strome, and Killorn are bottom-6 players. That's kinda sad that the veteran help Verbeek brought in might all be bottom-6'ers.

You mean if he’s healthy by then? No guarantees given his disaster of a season this year.

What exactly happened to him?

 

[JabbaJabba]

You gotta be kidding. This is just too much.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Came across a pic of McT from practice. Better luck next season.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Hope McGinn makes a full recovery, kinda hilarious timing for this news to come out with where this thread was at though.

Does this kill any chance of him being bought out this off season?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Does this kill any chance of him being bought out this off season?

Yup

 

[Terry Yake]

What exactly happened to him?

some sort of infection in his knee

Yup

that blows. guy is the definition of dead weight

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

What exactly happened to him?

Hasn’t played since December.

They might just bury him next year and eat the $1.6M or whatever the penalty is. Ridiculous trade, easily the most pointless Verbeek has made.

 

[Ducksforcup]

I mean a third round pick isn't nothing, but I agree Verbeek should have got more for taking on that contract.

With these kind of answers from Cronin about player status, I have to wonder if there is some kind of directive from upper management or something along the lines of "Dont worry about player status, dont guess, dont give updates. Be vague."

I mean it tracks with injury info overall, teams are not very forthcoming with that info.

Didn't Mac return to a game a day after being seeing wearing a boot while up in the suite? So who really knows, but I hope they just shut him down for the season.
