I'm thinking the same thing here... He's missed two games already just to find this out.

At least with Klefboms injury it's quite easy to come back from. He will be able to skate and get in game shape that way

We have a much better coach now though who’s getting the best out of his players.
17 games till beginning of Feb. If we go 7-7-3, we are still in the hunt. Of the 17 games, 10 of them are vs teams who are not currently in a playoff position. This is pretty much the easiest part of our schedule this year.
The injury is bad news but the timing of it is as good as we could have hoped.

You need swelling to come down before you can get a proper look at the situation.

The 9 game barrier only exists for players with junior eligibility. Jones' magic number is 25 for the Calder.

That is only partially correct, euros can play in the AHL and have their ELC slide until they’re 20 I believe
Yeah he’s going to win the Calder next year.
The 9 game thing doesn’t matter. He’s playing pro hockey, the second year of his ELC is done this year.

Plus no knee brace unlike last time. I can't imagine playing at the highest level with something like that on...lol
If he plays 25 games this is his rookie year. Not that it really matters but that's the only important number for Jones. His ELC already started and he won't earn UFA status before he turns 27.
Neither Capfriendly nor the part of the CBA that mentions ELC slides says anything about this as far as I can tell.
I’m on my phone so I can’t look right now, but I know players drafted out of Europe can play in the AHL and have contracts slide, just unsure of the cutoff
Why all the surprised reactions? We knew this would be roughly a 6 week injury. Just have to move forward now.
I'm a little more concerned about the Russell injury simply because of the unknown. If it's a 3-4 week type injury, Chia might need to make a trade. They can't go a month with Garrison or Wideman in the lineup full time and Gravel or Benning (as fine as they've been) playing top 4 minutes.

You’ll have to explain why a team that’s 9-7-2 the last two years without Klefbom is done.

Look no further than his post history.
There are precious few reasons to be optimistic but plenty of reasons to be pessimistic for some posters.
I mean it is a blow BUT it is also an opportunity to see which players can step up. Sekera is scheduled to come back in January as well and if he is 80% of normal self then the team should be just fine until Klefbom returns.

There is no distinction between Euro or not. The slide rule is age dependant. That said Euros can play in the NHl at a younger age so they are more likely to be eligible.

Breaking any fingers sucks, tbh. Went through it a few years ago and took around 2 months to heal, even without surgery. Hand is still messed up.
Was it only one broken finger? Or was it just the surgery on the broken one? I had heard multiple broken fingers which makes sense for the timeline versus one?
