Can Lindblom and Patrick recover fully?

[Ironmanrulez]

Hey guys. I would love to see Oscar and Nolan having great careers with the flyers.

But.....


Is it worth the risk? We will pay Oscar a lot of money and Nolan maybe also. We are near the Cap Limit and need every penny. If Oscar cant reach his old performance lvl we will be in trouble. He just won a fight vs cancer and thats a great thing. But it is also a very difficult fight for your Body. He wasnt the fastest player before and maybe he now slowed down even more.

Nolan has a very difficult injury. Maybe he will never play constantly in a Sport like hockey. Concussions are very dangerous to come back. And he had one before. Now he had 1year without doing anything. Migraine disorder is already his 2nd Problem After 2 years of professionell Sport. No one can say if its ever will be solved. Maybe he will get setbacks all the Time.

I really like both of them and want them to succeed. But we also need to be realistic and open minded. Should we go in the season with Patrick and Lindblom in the top 9?

Iam undecided on this question. But i think its worth to ask and to discuss.

I don't see why Lindblom can't as long as his cancer doesn't return

Patrick, I have no idea at this point

 

[dats81]

They have internal replacements so to say:

Frost takes the 3C spot in case N.P. isn't cleared to play when the season starts. In the best case, both are in pretty good shape and there is a healthy competition for that spot.
In case of Lindblom, unless cancer strikes back, he should be a lock in the top-9. It's getting crowded on the wings anyway with Farabee hopefully pushing Lindblom for playing time in the top-6, which is a good problem to have.

And in terms of cap space, there is always a way to handle if flexibly via LTIR.

Lindblom looked pretty good in game 7 for a guy who hadn't played in eight months and had his rehab limited by COVID related risks. Not worried about him at all, he should be 100% in January.

Patrick. Who knows? Backstrom has had a long career, others?

 

[landsbergfan]

No. I think it’s clear they won’t ever be whatever fans thought they might be and we should trade them for someone we can count on to play. Preferably a sniper.

 

[Adtar02]

Why couldn’t they???

 

[DancingPanther]

It's Oskar. The kid just had bone cancer. Get his name right.

Yes, they can both recover. They're still quite young. Lindblom already started being effective in game 2 s/p Ewing's Sarcoma. Patrick...well obviously the key is getting his issue under control. If he does and can just focus on hockey again, he'll be fine

In covid world you you don't give Okcar 3 year 9m out of the goodness of your heart.1 year 1m maybe. But that contract tell me he is playing. Whether cancer comes back God only knows that answer.
Patrick who knows. I wouldn't be stunned if he played under 25 games and he is a Seattle Krakken. I wouldn't be surprised if he got 40 points and was an excellent 3c in 20-21.

 

[freakydallas13]

Can Patrick recover? Yes.

Will he recover? No one knows, I'm about 70/30 in favour of him recovering right now, but we just don't have enough information.

 

[Jtown]

sniper would be nice but im thinking 5th line center

 

[wankstifier]

Package them with Gostisbehere for a 2nd

[TheKingPin]

I think Patrick will recover. But he may not be what we need or would want until after next year.

Lindblom, yes. He's 23, cancer in remission. So unless the cancer returns, he should be fine.

Patrick, who knows?

From a quick Google search, here's a list of athletes who ended up having productive careers despite frequent migraines -

Troy Aikman
Serena Williams
Scottie Pippen
Nicklas Backstrom
DeShone Kizer
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Andrew Bogut
Terrell Davis
Gail Devers
Percy Harvin
Denard Span
Dwayne Wade
Jason Williams
Ian Thorpe

I only recognize like 3-4 names on that list, but for others who do, you'd be able to tell how productive the other ones were.

Off the top of my head, I believe at least 5 - Aikman, S. Williams, Pippen, Abdul-Jabbar, and Terrell Davis are hall of famers in their respective sports. Devers was an Olympic gold medalist. Harvin, Wade, Backstrom, and J. Williams were all good to excellent iirc.

Lots of stars in their sport on that list. Lots.

Ian Thorpe was a multi gold medalists and on the podium a lot in the olympics. Swimmer for Australia

Remember when Crosby was one hit away from his career being over?

[Dumpster Flyers]

Unfortunately, none of us know. We're not their doctors.

 

[swami24]

Oskar has played, so he should be expected to continue. Patrick, well head issues are far less easier to predict recovery, and we have 88 reasons to worry.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Patrick is impossible to say.

Medical science didn't even fully comprehend what the true root cause of a migraine was until early in this decade. Whether he gets control or not is completely up in the air.
