Does anyone have any idea when anyone is due back?
Not a peep about anyone from the Oilers.
I don't even know what injuries any of them actually have.
no idea on timelines, other than none of them are close right now.... gregor was saying last week (i think maybe thursday?) that they were all "weeks away" still

See... there's like 6 injuries already... and the season is 6 games old. Fairly long term injuries as well it seems.
This is exactly why the team needs more depth and any trade talks in the rumours/proposals thread should be tempered down.
The Oilers are just lucky that everyone on IR are secondary type players... if they would have been missing 6 players in the top6F/top4D they'd be in pretty dire straights now and the record would probably be closer to 1-5 rather than 5-1.
Does Davidson have concussion issues? I never really heard what his injury was.
Are any of these injured guys still alive??
Is Ference still injured? My 85 year old mother heals faster than him titanium hips heart stents and all.

he had major surgery in july, so we are 3 months out. he's not ready to play professional hockey, and never will again.
I'm really curious to see Caggiula in the lineup. Certainly looked good in pre-season... one of the better Oilers and could really add some spark to the offense.
Davidson could add something with that shot of his as well... and he's solid defensively.
Hendricks and Pak both have some decent energy for the bottom line... but the 4th line really hasn't been an issue with this team so far... it's actually been a strength, solid on the PK and adding some offense as well.
I do. I think he takes Pitlick's spot. He's an excellent PKer and has speed. Maybe he takes Lander's spot but Lander is the only guy who seems to be able to win faceoffs at a high rate other than Letestu.Do you guys think Pakarinen will be able to grab a roster spot if, when he comes back, his play is at the same level as last season?
I've always liked him and even though there isn't any high end potential in his game, at worst he brings energy when he's on the ice and rarely, if ever, does he hurt the team.
Plus those type of guys are a godsend when trying to balance the salary cap books.
