****.

Oh well.

Come back Mule.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Damn that sux. Turns out to be a horrible trade for us. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[Sheriff Bert]

Now I wish that this trade didn't happen. Would rather keep the picks and prospects for something else. Can't see Cole getting resigned now. Not that Cole wasn't productive, it's just that now we will not have him at all going forward and nobody knows when Mule will return.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Terrible. He was playing pretty well and we paid a lot for him.


****

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Ugh, what ****** luck. Looked to be a decent addition to the team but now it's just a waste of Backman, Janmark and a 2nd. More concerning is that with Cole, Mule, and Abby (for the time being) out it leaves us with no big bodies in the top 6 (other than Sheahan who doesn't really play that style)

Anyways get well Erik

[Henkka]

hopefully Mule makes miraculous comeback and will replace him.

 

[needzmoarcleary]

wow, how does something like that happen?

 

[Winger98]

best of luck to the guy in getting healthy.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

That ****ing sucks. I hope that he is able to make a full recovery, even if he doesn't play again. On the bright side, we now know that we will have Dallas' third-round pick no matter what.

 

[Claypool]

Figured he was done since he wasn't skating much and was rarely talked about. I fear there's also something broken in Abdelkader's hand but they're just not saying anything.

 

[Sheriff Bert]

wow, how does something like that happen?

A contusion is basically a deep bruise close to the bone. So with Cole's previous neck injuries and the circumstances of this it is probably best for him to let it heal. I don't think it will affect him past this year but I am no doctor.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Welp, that turned out to be a bad trade.

Don't care about the prospects lost -- they weren't gonna make the team anyways. Losing the second next year though hurts.

 

[bababooeyII]

Cole is not only done for the season but his career is over. No way at this age it's worth risking your quality of life over

Detroit still picked up a 3rd round pick from Dallas. They basically moved down what? 20 spots?

 

[Chex LeMeneux]

That ****ing sucks. I hope that he is able to make a full recovery, even if he doesn't play again. On the bright side, we now know that we will have Dallas' third-round pick no matter what.

Is that how it works? I figured the condition was if the team makes the third round, regardless of Cole's health.

 

[Vladdy84]

Gator and Jurco close to being back according to the Radiol.

Dats-Z-Helm
Tats-Sheahan-Nyquist
Gator-Weiss-Pookie
Miller-Luke-Jurco

 

[WesNichols14]

How many games does he still have to miss for us to keep that conditional 3rd?

 

[Claypool]

Is that how it works? I figured the condition was if the team makes the third round, regardless of Cole's health.

Cole has to play at least 50% of the games.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Was a bad trade before he got hurt, now it's a terrible trade. Holland's going to Holland though.(Not that he knew he'd get hurt, even though he has a history, it's just that Cole isn't THAT good.)

Hope he gets well though.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Is that how it works? I figured the condition was if the team makes the third round, regardless of Cole's health.

Cole has to play 50% of the games also, I think.

Not gonna lie it's kinda ****ing stupid to rate the trade based on this.

Whoever the pick turned out to be could end up with a career-ending injury as well. Or just turn out to be bad at NHL hockey.

Rate a trade based on what it was at the time. Not on what unforeseeable circumstances happened after the fact.

Agreed. We traded two prospects who would've been waiver'd at some point anyway. It was a good trade, but bad luck with the injury.

 

[Bench]

This stinks. His speed and forecheck were going to be an asset when the playoffs hit. He was fitting in worlds better than Legwand.
