Worked on his skating today

Worked on his skating today

Wut? He is just now learning to skate? lol

I did not buy any tickets for the Oilers game last week because of Havlat. We'll see how long I can hold out until DW trades Havlat.

Havlat would get injuried playing with the 10U Lady Sharks. Havlat, man up and let DW trade you as we don't want you here.

He's absolutely untradeable man, don't get your hopes up. No one is going to want him. We'll be lucky to buy him out at the end of the season.

That NMC is killer.

those injuries is what kills it. even if he had no clause in his contract wilson still wouldn't be able to trade him.

I have to imagine somebody would take a chance on Havlat for a 7th.

One note regarding Havlat - I saw him on Friday, doing what looked to me like strengthening drills with a skating coach after team practiced


Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu............

Looks like he's off IR (and "healthy scratch" tonight).

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Hopefully, Havlat is in on Saturday.

Pavelski-Thornton-Burns
Nieto-Marleau-Wingels
Havlat-Kearns-Kennedy
Sheppard-Desjardins-Hayes

Would be a solid lineup.

Don't think it'll be that soon. According to Pollak yesterday:

I did talk briefly with Havlat. Yes, he’s feeling pretty good as he continues to practice and rehab an unspecified lower body injury. Yes, he thinks he should be able to play before the Olympic break.

McLellan seemed less certain.

“He’s in a situation where he’s getting healthier,” the coach said. “When he does get completely healthy and in game shape again, then we’ll consider using him.”

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Don't think it'll be that soon. According to Pollak yesterday:

That's why I threw hopefully in there. You never know with this team when injured guys get back in but I heard he traveled with them which is normally a sign of being close.

"Hopefully" doesn't change anything since I said "I don't think", not "He won't".
Burish and Torres are also with the team this road trip, so I wouldn't look too much into the traveling part.
Who knows, but McLellan's comments makes it sound like he's not ready yet, and when he is ready, he'll have to go through a couple of full practices before he plays in a game.

Is there a limit to the number of people on IR? Why did they take him off if he's not healthy.

Not really. (Conceivably, you could have your entire AHL staff recalled and more than 20 on the IR. But the team would really be hurting. Including financially.)

He's "skating healthy". But not "game healthy", yet.

Sounds to me TMac simply doesn't want to play Havlat. Understandable. Not dependable and even when he was in, wasn't producing.

Just get this guy healthy (enough) so DW has the *option* to buy him out.

Whether he's not dependable doesn't matter when you have Eriah Hayes, John McCarthy, and Bracken Kearns in the lineup. As dependable as he is or isn't, he's still a better option than those guys and should be played.
