That makes the decision of whether to sell at the deadline much easier.

Can’t believe we got more than “lower body injury”
No point keeping it under wraps. He's having surgery, anyone watching the play could figure out it was a knee issue. Narrows it down to just a question of which tendon tore.

... good thing we have Rask now?
It sounds like Coyle will be taking Koivu's spot, which I assume means Eriksson-Ek will be on the wing. So...

Zucker - Staal - Granlund
Parise - Coyle - Nino
Greenway - Eriksson-Ek - Kunin

vs

Zucker - Staal - Granlund
Parise - Coyle - Kunin
Greenway/Ek - Rask - Ek/Greenway

I prefer option 1.

Wonder if this will be career ending. At 37, I doubt he’s able to skate at the same level after this, and he wasn’t the fleetest of foot to begin with.

Same knee as Giordano got? Anyhow, it's a terrible turn of events for him.

The guy gets so much grief, but he's an honest player. Hope for the best.

Brutal. Going to be a rough remainder of the season. But bigger picture, man I hope this isn't how he goes out. Love Koivu and just hope for the best.

I’ll be honest. Although injury is never something to be celebrated but this is probably thee best thing to happen this team. We can finally get real and sell and take a significant step back and re-evaluate. Rather than being bounced in the first round via sweep and being stuck yet again for the sake of being in the playoffs. It’s clear where we should go now.
