4 weeks is pretty good news considering it looked a lot worse at first

4 weeks is pretty good news

Compared to the entire season sure it’s good news. I’m sure the majority would rather he not get injured in the first place which is why it is unfortunate

"Not great. Not terrible."

Kids a hard worker .my guess is 4 weeks is about right

 

[Clark4Ever]

He should be back with plenty of time to still make an impact this season. Good news under the circumstances.

Looked worse, I'll take 4 weeks! Depth will get tested now with Joe out as well but luckily we have some...

Do we know when he's due back?

It's been 3 weeks so far and he was seen on the ice recently, so hopefully still on track for next week.

Come on back Nick, Simmonds spot is waiting for ya!

I would say a Montreal game would be the earliest, but more likely going to be one of the Ottawa games.

Same with Thornton.

This is why we don't need to really worry about replacing Simmonds. We lose some physicality, but I doubt too many will complain with Robertson and Thornton coming back soon. We can give Joey Anderson, Alex Barabanov, or Pierre Engvall another look in the meantime. No harm really done for 3 or so games until Thornton and Robertson return.

Roberston was the player I was most interested in watching progress this season. I'd love to see him get a chance on the third line alongside Kerfoot and Mikheyev. The Vesey experiment has run its course.

We have several very good depth guys, insurance against injury is why we have them. 5 injuries and We are in good shape, its not like the five were Mathews, Marner, Nylander, JT and Hyman

Hopefully he comes back and performs because we need him right now with Simmomds hurt for 6 weeks

Has anyone seen Toronto's third line? MIA
