[ShanahanMan]

Probably rotator cuff. Guessing he’ll need surgery.

 

[Gniwder]

Increases our chances for Wright considerably.

 

[RedWingzz]

This timing of this is puzzling...? Why wait until now to deal with this? why not do this in April?

Edit: nvm, didn't realize he arrived already and hurt it on the ice

 

[Dotter]

Increases our chances for Wright considerably.

I think Yzerman's off season moves + the addition of Seider and improving Zadina negates that.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Probably rotator cuff. Guessing he’ll need surgery.

Really makes no sense to speculate what part of the shoulder is the problem, but can you explain why you think rotator cuff is the most likely culprit?

Hilarious.

 

[FMichael]

Not good news...Me thinks it'll likely be surgery, or possibly a long rehab if sugery is not required at this time...Either way I expect him to miss a significant portion of the season.

 

[Pavels Dog]

how do you hurt yourself 10 minutes into practice. it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

the silver lining is it opens room for Raymond/Berggren/Veleno.

Probably because it's the most common shoulder injury. Who knows, it could just be a stinger.

I'm sure we'll find out later this week, when they put a timetable on the return date....

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Increases our chances for Wright considerably.

Edit: It appears I was wrong, that rule was not implemented yet last year.

Especially since Buffalo can’t win again.

 

[lilidk]

He got injured in one of those European tournaments playing together with Zadina. Don't know if it's related

 

[Leadzedder]

Especially since Buffalo can’t win again.

Forgot about that but is that in affect now?

 

[Winger98]

Forgot about that but is that in affect now?

I didn't think that started until this year.

 

[Leadzedder]

Yeah. I’d agree I think. I thought we were discussing being able to lottery win Power, and still be able to be in the Wright and Bedard sweepstakes.

 

[DetroitRed]

Wellp...not gonna be our year.

 

[Revenge of Gru]

Showing up out of shape is a good way to accomplish that. Not saying that's what happened but....

Keep our fingers crossed this isn't long term.

 

[simonedvinsson]

I didn't think that started until this year.

Correct, and even if it had started last year, they capped it to two lotteries per five years, so Buffalo would still have a shot.

Nothing new, specialist is this afternoon but

 

[DetroitRed]

I hope it's nothing serious and Vrana heals soon.

Also, I think once all the dust settles in the next two or three weeks, we should redo the 'how many points will the Wings finish with' thread.

They will have Bertuzzi for more games than last year and even if Vrana is out for a long time, they got Suter, plus made significant improvements on the defensive end. Still, I have them like 10 points lower than initial estimates pending the Bertuzzi-Vrana outcomes.

Yeah, every team can be projected to be if all are healthy. You don't know who are going to get injured. But when "shit starts happening", and when Tuzzi and Vrana level of guys are gonna miss some games, then it's obviously hurts.

 

[GMR]

Welp. Can we have Mantha back?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Well that sucks...

No?
