Ference was out for a ~month at the end of the season with a minor tear, he played with it for 3 weeks, had surgery and missed the end of the season... but could have played, or been back within a ~month.

Huselius missed 4 months with a major tear in his last NHL season.

Ozolinsh missed just under 3 months in 2003-04 after pectoralis surgery.

So it depends heavily on how severe. He originally injured it in January I believe and played with it... so I imagine it is a minor one like Ferences that was not fully healed.

I have a gut feeling that this is gonna be a bad year for injuries...

 

[Curufinwe]

Going to be harder to get Rinaldo sent to the Phantoms now.

Skating....

Hextall said White has “some time,†to go and that just because he is skating doesn’t imply he will be on the ice competitively any time soon.

The projection for White was a return in late January or early February. Hextall is now hoping sometime in early January.

Seeing how Akeson has been scratched a fair amount thus far this probably isn't good news for him.

We need to recoup some picks so hopefully Hextall can make something happen.

Change your name to the Sage Kage....

It's still two months away. Hopefulyl by then Akeson has locked down a spot and VdV is back in the AHL.

I wonder if White coming back opens up Bellemare moving to wing higher up in the lineup. If Read doesn't get any better, I wouldn't mind trying Bellemare there.

I doubt it. Berube seems to have taken a shine to VV.

White's a likely better fit on the fourth line than Akeson while Akeson likely has higher trade value than White. Neither will likely be here next year so I would value a draft pick more here.

If McGinn is worth a 3rd, then what is Akeson worth?

Hopefully around the same.

I'm going to laugh when we trade Akeson for peanuts and he turns into a 50 point winger

I know it's crazy but I wish they would put him back on the PP. his offensive vision is too good to not be used there in some capacity.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The chances of Akeson becoming a 50 point winger are pretty slim.

He's already getting phased out & with a expiring as well as more all around talented players than him coming up to the ranks he'll be out of here very soon.

People said the same thing about Patrick Sharp (yes, not the best comparison as I don't think he'll be as good as him). He's got offensive skill, but they won't give him the opportunity to show it here.

I just don't understand why he isn't given a bigger offensive role. Berube Logic, sure, but it's stupid.

Give him a shot on the 2nd PP unit. It's not like that line can get any worse.

White update
Ryan White (torn pectoral muscle) is making continued progress practicing with the team for a week now.

“I believe he’s a couple of weeks away … [from] being cleared to play,” Hextall said. “He’s going to see a doctor. I think he’s two weeks away from being cleared to play.”

Hextall said he was uncertain whether White will do a rehab assignment with the Phantoms or be moved to the Flyers' roster.

Hextall says Ryan White has been cleared for contact. #Flyers

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Hextall says he's been cleared for contact.

 

[Appleyard]

Hopefully this means VdV sits.

Though knowing Berube it will be Bellemare... I bloody hope not, he has been good and drags that 4th line around on his own.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

I like that you didn't even acknowledge the possibility that Rinaldo sits. Him and Grossmann are seemingly glued to this team.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Hopefully this means VdV sits.

Though knowing Berube it will be Bellemare... I bloody hope not, he has been good and drags that 4th line around on his own.

knowing Berube he will push for Laughton to be sent back to LV.

 

[dats81]

That would be more on Hextall than on Berube

yup. people act like hextall has no input in lineup decisions, which is truly naive. anthony sanfillippo has even confirmed it.
