News Article: Larsson on LTIR (6-8 weeks, broken fibula)

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

So much for hoping for no long term injuries to our D.

Edit - Bouchard call up and Bear send down are paper transactions to maximize cap space as its expected Persson will be back in the lineup Saturday along with Bear. Unlikely Bouchard gets on the plane.

Ruh Roh!

 

[jeffff]

Of course....

 

[Kolja]

Bit weird sending Bear down no?

 

[Cloned]

lol, WTF?

Totally random and why did they send Bear down?

This should free up 4M of cap space however...

 

[BamaOil]

What the hell is wrong with Larsson?

 

[Kolja]

Nurse - Bouch
Klef - Persson
Russ - Benning

?

Hope Larsson is OK..........

What the hell is wrong with Larsson?

Broken foot maybe? He blocked a shot in the first period and was hobbling around. I didn't see anything else.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I didn’t see Larsson on the bench in the final few minutes. Not sure why Bear is going down. Manning moving up to the bottom pair?

Either way. Not good.

The Bear send down is baffling. Persson must be close to returning....that's all I got for making sense of it.

LTIR is a little weird though. Makes me think Holland wants to use that cap space.

oh great

 

[oilcountry17]

Why did bear get sent down thought he looked good so far...

 

[Seachd]

I feel like your title is missing the most important part.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Us Oilers fans can't have nice things... like to enjoy the win in the season opener for a day before a major injury to a key player is revealed.

 

[Cloned]

Although to be fair Larsson out isn’t actually as big of a loss as one might think given his level of play.

 

[jlockhart89]

I'm guessing broken foot from the blocked shot last night. Probably didn't know the full extent of the damage until they got the skate off and x-ray'd.

 

[PinSeeker]

The Bear/Bouchard swap makes little sense unless there is something else going on? Even if Persson is coming back, would not affect Bear would it?

 

[oXo Cube]

Larsson's got a broken foot obviously.

Bear down, Bouchard up makes next to no sense to me.

 

[backhandsauce]

Must be a broken foot from blocking that Hughes shot

 

[Soli]

 

[NeverForget06]

Could the Bear part of it be a paper thing? Something with the LTIR cap space? I don't know, seems very weird that they would send him down after 1 game. Just doesn't make sense

Bear was good last night so I don’t get it.

Persson must be close.
