News: Nolan Patrick on LTIR

[nbwingsfan]

Replace Patrick with any of the three players drafted after him and the flyers are in an entirely different place

And again… how is this his fault? When you keep making nonsensical moves like the Flyers have been doing then no one is helping them.

Rick DiPietro

DiPietro was already an established #1G when his real injury trouble’s started

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He's had these injuries since he was a kid. His injuries have held back his game and had two broken collar bones. Gets a third one it's all over for him, god forbid.

I see him getting a job as a scout for Vegas if he retires early though. But sadly I don't think he'll be playing in the NHL before he turns 28.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Guy single handedly set back the flyers Atleast a decade

Patrick? How ? I could see that high pick not panning out stalling the progress, but not setting them back a decade.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Third round and 2nd overall are a bit different. Sad story though.

He was projected to be a first rounder but the injuries got him early.

 

[bossram]

Vegas is going to have a lot of LTIR room to play around with.

Is the team looking at needing to rebuild if they have any of the three players picked after him. Highly doubtful.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Say that to all the Juolevi bashers, just giving some NA treatment.

As opposed to the near-perfect objectivity expressed by HF Finland?

 

[Gordievsky]

Is this a migraine thing? I see some commenters talking about concussions but I thought his deal was that he had migraines and couldn't get rid of them.

Or maybe it's both and they're related?

 

[Stephen]

We don't know for certain if this is Vegas cap shenanigans or Patrick being injured, but if he's going to be stashed away on LTIR, maybe he can get fully healthy and be ready to take another crack at it in 2023-24. He's still young.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Hope the kid has good people around him and he's doing okay. I can't even imagine what he might be going through most days.

2nd overall pick in the NHL hoping to be a guy who turns around an NHL Team and live out your dream. To now your career likely being over at 23 and you now have debilitating lingering injuries that derailed that career. On top of the physical pain a lot of people have depression and disassociation from PCS.

Must be a living nightmare a lot of days.

Come on, this can't be serious....

Plus the GM said something about just trying to help him live a normal life.

Migraines are one of the main symptoms of PostConcussion Syndrome.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

That was a pretty dumb trade all and all for Vegas.

Patrick has a 1 year/1.2m deal, it doesn’t open that space.

 

[The don godfather]

Too young to write him off. I remember Bergeron had major concussions injury early in his career and things looked really bad for him. Look how that turned out.

 

[JoeSakic13]

That was a pretty dumb trade all and all for Vegas.

 

[Flyer lurker]

The Avs wanted him over Makar. Philly did us a solid winning that lottery.

bummer his career hasn’t worked out. Concussions?

He has really severe migranes and has one bad looking concussion early on in his career from a Kurtis Gabriel hit. It may only be the migranes and not concussion related. Or maybe they are. Who knows? A bad concussion I am sure didn't help.

AVs seemed more interested with Hischier or Heiskanen.

If they had the 3rd pick then Patrick could have been the choice, yet, he missed his final Junior season with significant injuries including Migraines. Playing with this problem 1 mile above sea level immediately created concerns. So, Makar still be the choice.

Losing the draft never felt so good....

 

[Nanuuk]

I think the kid is still suffering from migraines to a degree and Vegas is looking to milk the LTIR for all its worth.

 

[Guttersniped]

Yes, Patrick’s huge 1.2m cap hit on LTIR will make a huge difference when a different forward takes his spot.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Really feel bad for him

His bod just wasn't meant to hold up, I suppose

 

[JoeCool16]

Migraines are one of the main symptoms of PostConcussion Syndrome.

He does have a family history of migraines.

 

[bsu]

Sucks for the kid, hope the best for his health

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Imagine trading Cody Glass for him. What a mistake. Glass might never be a great player, but he’s bound to be a bottom 6 forward at least.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

You mean NHL players... 99% of hockey players aren't that lucky especially the ones that choose hockey over school and never become NHLers.

No I mean the beautiful wives part.

 

[JoeCool16]

He is set. Made more money than any of us normal people could've made in our lifetimes and have you seen his wife?! Absolutely gorgeous.

Hockey players are so lucky.

If he has chronic migraines on and off for the rest of his life, though...
