Glad hes doing ok.
Sounds fairly positive.
Looks like hes going to miss the Carolina game (but I imagine hes out long term). Wonder what the timeline is.

Timeline will be about 3 to 4 months is what I’m thinking. Wont be short term.

I know I am being overtly optimistic. Very strange for me, but I am not sure a 3/4 month timeline is realistic with the limited info we have.
Sure its very possible he is gone that long or more but its also possible we are talking in terms of weeks rather than months.
Unless someone actually has heard anything new? I don't expect he will get his full assessment for a day or two.

Stash him on your fantasy team's IR because he's not playing this week (he's been give the OUT designation already by ESPN/TSN and Yahoo). Over that period of time that Oilers media will likely have an update on the specific injury and prognosis that will be discussed in detail here on HFOil. That will provide you with the information going forward about what to do with your fantasy team.

Im not a doctor but I assume it would be impossible for even a trauma surgeon to make a reasonable guess at recovery time without knowing how deep this laceration was. Is it superficial, arterial, tendons, nerves, cut down to the bone? Could be a week or two and back to 100% or could be months and never back to 100%. Right? Lets hope for the best but until we at least get the most basic details the possible outcomes are numerous.

Based on Mikhyev's timeline we're looking at 3 months minimum on the shelf. Just don't rush him back before he's ready, let that wrist heal up to 100% and don't risk long term damage.
I have a friend who slashed his whole forearm.
He leaned onto a marble sink which broke and the broken stone cut right through nerves and everything. He has this big ass awesome scar now but the negative side effect is that he cannot use his pinky anymore. It's locked in position until he uses his other hand and manually flips the finger back.
I really hope for Kane that this is not being the case and all nerve strings are intact.

Considering our 21 man roster situation, it only seems logicial to stash him LTIR immediately unless there's a 80% chance or better that he'd be ready within 2 weeks, and past examples suggest that is not the likely scenario. His salary allows us to activate 3 players to create options and competition in the lineup again.
Earliest return from LTIR is December 3 vs. Montreal and 7 of those 10 are on the road, so best to let him stay home and heal and make sure his hand actually works probably after the swelling dies and everything starts to heal while having extra bodies available for all the road games.
That said, the ten games are a tough batch of teams with Carolina, Florida x2, LA, Vegas, Jersey, Islanders, Rangers, Blackhawks and Wild.

Refer to Alpha comment above. I think its too early to be THAT pessimistic and assume months at all yet even if it is somewhat likely based on the blood/sharpness of a skate.

I watched the NHL force us to give the Lames a 3rd round pick b/c of "the spirit of the trade" can you blame an Oilers fan for being pessimistic lol?
Anyone posting their diagnosis / prognosis of Kanes injury has to have one of these to prove their expertise.
Otherwise you can’t post here.

I hope he's back soon, we certainly need him. And I like the tone of his tweet. He's legit trying to become a fan fave, and that counts for something. He improves every player on our team IMO and is becoming one of its' leaders.
... but let's just say that his injury were exactly 5 months for NHL-ready recovery... 4 months without playing and one month to retrain/get up to game speed in the AHL.
Gosh, wouldn't that be terrible? Whatever would we do with that $5M in LTIR?
.... there I said it.

Patrick Kane.... Come on down!! I kid. If timeline suggested out until playoffs, I'd rather see the money deployed on defense.

As a physician, this is correct. Impossible to accurately predict recovery time without knowing which structures were injured. Could be anything from 1 week to several months.

It absolutely had to have been arterial. That's literally the only way there could be that much blood that quickly. Doesn't take an internet medical degree. Just a basic understanding of the human circulatory system.
As to the rest? I have no idea and just hope for the best for Kane.

Best wishes and get well Evander. On your timeline.
He's probably going to be in Tampa for awhile. I hope some of the Lightning including Maroon stop in and pay a visit. I expect they will. One of the worst things about a severe injury like this is that you can feel really alone while recovering. Even Kane writing the letter out is indication of that. What a great person he is. Can you imagine being so selfless he's writing a letter to thank everybody and indicate he's OK in the midst of a traumatic episode.
Its a real selfless action and reminder of what exceptional individuals pro hockey athletes can be. We're lucky to have them and lucky to have any of them putting some joy into our lives. Thats the constant and how I prefer viewing sports through the decades. That the players spread joy. Evander sure does.

Shame I can't like your post.
Agreed, I think we can all see that Kane is ultimately a good guy. Good team player, means well. Has matured for sure.
What do we do with the cap space though Drivesaitl?
