Only a hunch here..... but it's beginning to sound to me like Galchenyuk was hurt coming into camp and it got aggravated during the Kings game. Even though the Coyotes said he came in excellent shape.
I'd love to see us go a full season without making a waiver claim (ie, dumpster diving).

What the hell is it with the secrecy? Why can't they just tell us what's wrong with him and the estimated time to recover? So stupid.
I guess the fear is opponents might try to Target the injured area when the player returns. If it's his groin, I'd imagine a few shots to "the lower abdominal region" as they used to say on the wrestling shows in the 70s and 80s.

That would be a real kick in the groin. But seriously, folks, hiding injuries and return timetables made some sense before the information age but given how fast information flows now hiding details has become just a hockey tradition.
Now that the NHL is in Vegas an gambling on hockey becomes bigger money I expect the NHL to mimic NFL and MLB rules with open information so that gamblers with inside information can't game the system.

It's been like this for a while now. Everything is upper or lower body and day-to-day/week-to-week/etc...

My guess is that it's a HIPAA complication; I'd be interested to know whether this sort of thing was negotiated into the CBA.

I'm struggling to put the puzzle pieces together on Galchenyuk's injury and status. If I was forced to bet, it is a knee and very minor...perhaps a scope to remove a bone chip or similar, where the only trauma/healing is at the site of intrusion?

Best guess on Galchenyuk's injury isn't that it is 100% groin related, but probably a hip flexor strain. Those suck to deal with, because any movement of lifting your leg is impacted by that. Hip flexors are not difficult to pull, but it renders you kind of useless. I remember when I had pulled mine many moons ago, it was probably about 3-4 weeks before I felt no discomfort at all, and that was for a minor strain. Depending on how bad it is, that could put Galchenyuk in the 5-6 week recovery range, which would fit with the timeline.

That doesn't jive with the fact everyone was surprised he was hurt based on his training camp and exhibition play. He looked great. Not like a guy hiding an injury.
It is all guesswork at this point but I think they just don't want to rush him back. Maybe they saw how that derailed him in 2016-17. He was point per game on the top line, got hurt, came back too early, obviously looked it, and Julien ripped him off the top line and blamed him for poor play instead of seeing he still needed recovery time. They don't want that again, especially Tocchet who seems to have taken a liking to him.

Small injuries can turn into big ones if they’re constantly aggravated.
By small I mean tiny muscle and/or joint strains. Not enough to knock you out of the box at first, but they can get worse as you push through them.

Overheard a conversation that I wasn’t supposed to hear and learned what Galchenyuk’s injury is. Probably not the best idea to leak medical information into an Internet forum, but the injury is more of a 2 or 3 month process (according to google) and not a 3-4 week recovery.

Ouch. Not to be mean, but I hope they were just trolling you :-/.
If this is right info... Very sad news indeed.

It’s not a good idea.
My daughter is studying to become an athletic trainer and she would string you up for that.
There is a code among trainers in relaying any injury info to outside individuals not directly involved with the injured party is grounds to have you boiled in oil, then skinned.

Not at all doubting what you heard, but this is straight from John Chayka in a article published on the Coyotes site today. If Chucky were to be out 2-3 months, I think they would probably classify that as long term, and definitely wouldn't specifically call it "short-term" like they did today.

I believe you overheard what you overheard. The part about googling the timeline is suspect. What google says about you and me going to Doctor Joe Schmoe and getting physical therapy at whatever strip mall PT place doesn’t have a whole lot of bearing on the reality that multi million dollar elite athletes with top of the line care are dealing in.

I saw on a main boards thread that Chychrun is out with an ACL injury. Is this the same one that kept him out towards the end of last year? I really hope he hasn’t reinjured anything.
When is he slated to come back? Where do you guys think he will play when he does? Thanks.

Was that same injury he got from being slew footed into the boards late last season. He had surgery and is getting closer to coming back now. No re-injury that I've heard of! From what the team has said, he's not too far away. I'd guess maybe early November isn't too bad of a guess (maybe earlier depending?)... Think he takes a bottom pairing spot to start, probably has a chance to work into top 4.
I kinda hate to think this, but with Dvo beiug injured and also just signing that extension; do you think (possibly) Dvorak keep some of this nagging injury secret? Like, obviously he was hurt near the end of the season. But maybe he didn't completely divulge how much trouble he was having with it to Chayka. I'm just wondering if this injury had any sort of factor on the extension one way or another.
Maybe Chayka knew it was not a simple injury and thats why he gave the relatively low cap hit offer for a 2nd line center, or did Dvo know his injury would cause his problems so he might as well lock in now while he can? Maybe it's a combination of both. I know it probably sounds confusing, but it just made me think a lot about the situation.

Don't worry, Galchenyuk isn't the sort to play through that kind of adversity.
