Injury Report: Keller out 4-6 Months with Leg Fracture

[SniperHF]

maybe I don't know the rules, but do they even need to put him on LTIR?

I'm a CBA noob so feel free to throw up the mouser signal, but my understanding is that LTIR isn't actually different from regular IR in terms of the "list". LTIR is a specific clause you can invoke to get cap relief (if needed) on a player on regular IR who meets certain additional requirements (days and GP injured)

We would simply not invoke that clause.

They can if they want, they don't have to. Basically if you put someone on LTIR the main thing it means they are not allowed to play for a certain amount of time (around a month), and you can use that cap space to trade for / sign someone else, but there's no reason for us to do that now (we're a bad team) and also the trade deadline's passed anyway. There might be more to it but that's the basic high level that I understand. Either way most important thing is his recovery for next year's training camp / season opener

Just googled the splint. It would not have worked. I had to have my leg up and bent slightly or it was unbearable even with the fentanyl. The break was way up high, inside my hip. They couldn’t straighten it until after they knocked me out with ketamine.

I still say the worst part of the entire process was the hallucinations I had from the ketamine. The $6500 it set me back hurt too. And then the part where I was stuck in isolation on the COVID floor because I also had COVID (for the 2nd time, despite being vaccinated) - lol.

Geez, WOW!! Yeah, the need to have it bent canceled the split. Glad you're recovering, remember slow but sure always wins the race.

I really like Coach T’s post game conference. He appears to be a compassionate and wise person.

I would run through a brick wall for Tourigney.

The pawns always get sacrificed.

Unfortunately in Keller's case the wall won.

There is no wall.

Also - it doesn’t show up during TSA scans. Fun fact for the curious among you. Lol.

Wow, just when you thought the bar for TSA couldn't get any lower

Damn was really excited counting down to 30 goals, only 2 away. Coyotes fans can't have nice things again.

I guess we won't be able to evaluate a Keller Smith Schmaltz line for this season.

What's the latest? Is he on target to start the season?

Yes. Thanks for the heart-attack of a necro-bump...

I'm going to go hyperventilate into a brown paper bag, now.

Oh sorry. I thought that's the quickest way for me to get an update since I'm lazy to search.

Yea I died a lot inside. There are people in the world now who don't know me, but they're concerned for me after the noise I made.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Hey, it's not all bad, I found out I got a laugh out of mangosteen 6 months after I posted something...

 

[rt]

Oh sorry. I thought that's the quickest way for me to get an update since I'm lazy to search.

No worries man! All good. Keller is ready.

 

[TheLegend]

Don’t worry… it doesn’t take much to get rt wound up.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

It’s no problem, Someone is just an Azz!

 

[MIGs Dog]

Keller is ready.

Apparently not. Yes...I bumped the scary Keller thread. If they kept him out last night as a precaution, will he REALLY be ready to go 5 days from now? I say keep him out until he's 100%. Not like we're looking to make a playoff run.

He’s been skating with the team…. They’re just are being extra cautious.

There's skating, and then there's playing NHL-level hockey. To be ready, I think he needs to be pain-free and have pre-injury range of motion and strength. Also, practice can't replicate game intensity.

If he had played last night it would have been less intense than most practices!!

Keller gets 82 games of practice.
