Well this really sucks. He played really well in the last game. Now he'll comeback and won't be 100% for the rest of the season. Then people will say he's washed up again... Really disappointed for him.

Obviously I prefer OEL be healthy, but I don’t think this cripples the team

Saves minimum of $1.5M of cap space less cost of any corresponding roster moves.

One thing I'd like to see the team stop doing is tagging guy as "day to day" before getting the official diagnosis. Just say you don't know until you get the report back. Creates false hope.

Bring in Yandle.

Best players play. Yandle's contract was about as appealing as Kessel's.

I don't think organizations should be beholden to ironman streaks in either case, but they apparently are.

I don’t buy that Yands doesn’t crack their top 6

It really depends on how you feel about scoring on the power play.

I think the other issue here is the Florida Panthers are basically seen as a joke and treating one of the most liked players in the league like this can’t be good for the franchise.

I saw some update say he could play this weekend. Any truth to that?

No. But that’s because the games this weekend we’re cancelled due to the COVID outbreak among the Minnesota Wild.

Could be a blessing in disguise for any sort of sliver of playoff hopes.
