Prospect Info: Conor Timmins - D [32nd overall]

[Pokecheque]

They may just be shutting him down for precautionary reasons.

Fact remains if he wasn't still showing symptoms there wouldn't necessarily be "precautionary reasons."

Given Dater’s track record with predicting Timmins’ return...are we sure that this doesn’t mean that he’ll be playing tonight?

 

[AvsCOL]

At this point is it really worth him risking another setback, just for a few games to end the year? He's missed 90% of the season already, might as well just shut him down and pray he's symptom free by next summer. Can't imagine they have any plan to put him into the NHL lineup, and the AHL is a bunch of goons running around trying to make a name for themselves.

Better off playing the long game here.

I'm not sure you understand the word precautionary. It doesn't necessarily mean he still has symptoms. Precautionary is basically just giving things extra patience and examination before testing them. Atleast thats the best I can describe it.

Wasn't there a report like just a few days ago saying that the Avs were expecting Timmins to get into an Eagles game no later than the middle of March.

I thought that was from Timmins himself but I could be wrong.

Sometimes the lingering effects of a concussion can last years. Pronger needed a cane for a while. Lots of players can't be around light for a long time. Some can't keep their balance.

It's nasty, and I don't know why anyone expects, or says that there is some magical deadline.

Unless he's been symptom free for a while, it could be a long time before he's back in game shape.

They linger and they can have good periods and than bad periods. Thats why its best to play it safe imo. Even when the symptoms leave it doesn't necessarily mean the damage is healed.

I'd like your post, but my like button has dissapeared on me. I guess I upset our overlords or something.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Just move on from him. We been through this already with Hishon.

Well than this conversations all been for nothing.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

All I want for him right now is to recover properly. If he ever plays for us in the future that will be icing on the cake.

He's on a 3 year contract. We can be patient. He could be a hell of a player.

Could be or he could be done and end up in Denmark with Andrighetto in a few years

You said we should move on from him. Should we just tell him to go home, collect paycheques, and give up on hockey? Lol

He might be forced to do that anyways. Im not holding out hope. I gave that up with Joey.

Joey Hishon has nothing to do with Timmins though.

Sure they do. Both young talents with mash potato for brains before they entered the league. I wish Connor the best but im not holding my breath.

Your not wrong but there's no reason to give up. Let it heal long term and see a specialist and train to protect your head. By that I mean exercise neck muscles and stabilizing muscles ect so that you can better brace for impact. I'm certainly not relying on him but there's no reason to not hope for the best. Just don't have any expectations.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I'd really like to see more information on that gyro-stim treatment or whatever it was called that Crosby underwent a few years ago.

The BSN guys said that

 

[Foppa Frossa]

I posted this in another thread but it appears that Timmins is traveling with the Eagles based on his IG posts.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

The Eagles play on the 12th and 13th.... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he plays on the 13th

 

[RockLobster]

If Timmins doesn’t play any games this year, my understanding is that it would be over an abundance of caution on the Avs’ side. That they don’t want to risk any setbacks since they *really* like him and believe he can be a big part of the team.

So it’s not necessarily that he’s not progressing or showing setbacks (I don’t know if he is/isn’t).
