Line Combos: Jamie Benn, Ales Hemsky to undergo offseason hip surgery; Sidelined for 4-5 months

[LT]

Daley suffered a lower body injury in tonight's game and did not return.

No word on his current status, I'll post something as soon as it comes up.

 

[LT]

Daley could be out for weeks.

Ruff thinks Martin should be suspended. After seeing it, can't say I disagree.

[Satan]

I hope Martin doesn't apologize

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

I hope Martin does apologize because good manners can somehow make injuries better or something... As long as he doesn't use a surrogate to do so, that would be disgraceful.

 

[EXTRAS]

Who is gonna get the call up to replace Daley?

 

[Satan]

I can't see them adding another young guy like Oleksiak, so I'll assume Cam Gaunce or Fortunas.

 

[LT]

This injury probably means Jordie stays in the top 6 for the rest of the year

Schlemko could've come in handy here, a shame that we waived him earlier. We're getting dangerously close to the contract limit, though.

franky suprised he even got a game...coincidental contact..no knee leading

Ruff needed something as the Sequin/Daley injuries deflected his bad coaching

Fortunus isn't signed by Dallas so he's not an option.

 

[Satan]

Fortunus isn't signed by Dallas so he's not an option.

meh, it's not like they haven't signed him to an NHL contract to shuffle around our young D before.

 

[LT]

Sounds like Daley may only be out for 2-3 weeks, good news.

 

[Satan]

Good news for the tank. *

A one game suspension to a 4th liner on a team that's virtually guaranteed a playoff spot, that is about is insignificant as it gets. I don't think there was malicious intent, so I could care less.

The only things I'm cheering for now are growth in young players and moral victories. Daley doesn't have much impact in either category so I don't have much interest in his status. Glad he's OK from a human perspective; despite my best efforts to get rid of it, I still have a little bit of a conscience left.

 

[Satan]

Meh, I feel bad for Daley considering he was having a career year in terms of offensive numbers.

Don't you really mean that he won't hit 20 goals and his offseason trade value is taking a hit with the production he will lose during the injury.

any updates on Nichushkin?

he should be getting close no?

any updates on Nichushkin?

Still a few weeks out. He's practicing with the team though in a no-contact red jersey.

 

[LT]

7-10 days for Nichushkin.

Klingberg still day to day, Ruff hopeful he plays tomorrow night.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Can't wait to see Nuke again, good news on Klingberg as well.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Nichushkin will probably have a 2 week conditioning stint in AHL I am sure hey?

I think his conditioning stint is now. He might play a game or two in the AHL to get back to game speed, but certainly not two weeks.

Although there's no need to rush him right now, so it's not entirely out of the question.
