Helm has a concussion and will miss at least a week. Hope he is cleared to play when the season starts.

Jerome Verrier broke his leg.

Weird collision. Both players didn't see others. Just bad luck. Nothing to do with the drill or hockey.

Just **** happening.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I understand being concerned with the Wings regular with a history of injuries.

But seriously I am more concerned for Verrier who also has a history of injuries. He was a guy playing for hopefully a minor league hockey contract. I really hope the Wings give him a Griffin contract if only for all the rehab and medical care he is going to need. If he was to get one he was likely to play in Toledo this year, but still it is a bummer for him a broken leg while he was looking for work is just heartbreaking.

If you can light 3 million plus dollars on fire for Cleary over the last couple years, I really hope they sign this kid and work him through rehab and take care of him.

Are we confirmed from the Wings that it is a concussion? I kept reading concussion protocol on Helm. They think it will be one, but just wondering if they have outright said it yet instead of he will have to sit out regardless while being evaluated which is standard.

 

[Actual Thought*]

Well the new era is starting out just great.

 

[Claypool]

Helm needs to have a good season since he's a UFA.

Wishing a speedy recovery to both players.

Blashill said that Helm has a concussion and will miss at least a week,

Well look how long we lost Franzen to a concussion and is still questionable for return to play. With concussions you just don't know.

Verrier is scheduled to undergo surgery Saturday morning to insert a rod in the leg, which should speed his recovery process, according to team doctors.

Like to think the Wings will help him out, so he has access to team doctors. I would guess there is some sort of blanket insurance covering players invited to camp.

The most annoying injuries are always the ones that happen in the preseason/training camp.

 

[FlashyG]

Turns out Helm also has a separated shoulder. Will be out 2-4 weeks according to Khan

 

[MBauer]

Edit*

beat me to it

Of course Helm would be more injured then we originally thought

Hopefully it's just 2 weeks and he doesn't miss any of the beginning of the season.

 

[InjuredChoker]

could still be ready for season opener.

that C depth kind of needs him. does open a shot for larkin to make it though.

 

[Tomas W]

Helm....why do you always get hurt?

 

[hot dog]

Hopefully it's not one of those years for Helm. Seems like things tend to spiral out of control for him...

Larkin should make the opening night roster, though... especially if he keeps playing like he has been this entire year.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Helm....why do you always get hurt?

Yeah it started with a broken jaw when he tried to block a shot, And then he gets cut by a Nashville players skate during the playoffs the same day he gets back. and then he has spinal problems the next year and misses half the season the poor guy just can't catch a break.

Are you thinking of Eaves? He broke his jaw blocking a shot.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Im kind of hoping he misses a couple games to start the season, Larkin takes his spot, and forces Hollands hand

 

[Vladdy84]

Cleary will be in our lineup Game 1. Book it.

I thought Helm did as well, But I think you're right that it was Eaves.

Why not hope for Helm to be healthy and Larkin to actually earn a spot by himself?

Terrible to hope for an injury to any of our players, let alone one of our most useful ones.

Cause we all know that' not how Holland works lol. Maybe I worded it wrong.

For the Griffins maybe

 

[Kronwalled55]

I really hope we move on from him and Abdelkader this offseason. Those are two contracts that Detroit is going to regret if they get signed.

Hate to break it to you. But Gator is a Wing for LIFE.
