So about two months to even be cleared for intense training? I think the next concussion ends his career.

Okay Doctor Recchi

Good news, hopefully this is the last concussion of his career.

Or his life

With the way he gets targeted, I doubt it.

I couldn't possible comment on what Mr & Mrs Letang get up to in the boudoir.

Trade him while you can

Trade him while you can

Yes, because trading Letang when we have 2 top-4 D going into next year already sounds like a swell idea.

Doom's gloom from (ironically) one of many Nintendon't useless/malfunctionning items. No insult nintended at you sir, just yer name's avatar.

Anybody smart enough in the front office to trade him while you can get great value in return?

That time has come and gone. They're married to him now for better or worse.

Yeah, a player that was a surefire Norris candidate for the second time in his career is going to be a pain to move..

Bergeron has suffered just as many concussions as Letang. Is he unmovable as well?

Either way, it's not going to happen. The d would be a dumpster fire without him anyways, exhibit a: this years playoffs.

Moving Kris Letang especially with our idiotic GM would probably kill our team to be honest.

Glad to hear he is back to workouts and can't wait to watch him tear it up next year.

 

[Human]

great news. he's gonna win the Norris next season...

Who is the second one?

Who is the second one?

Did you forget about Maatta?

I think he'll be fine on the second pairing but throwing him into top minutes is a big risk. He has never played the tough minutes a guy like Martin has eaten up.

This team is close to being a disaster next year.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I saw Letang in Montreal about a month ago in MTL. He was cleared, just in vacation for those saying that he just got cleared. Anyway, I know I cant say this cuz I dont have proofs, delete this if you think it's not allowed.

If his thyroid or shoulder don't impact his play, he's easily a 1st pairing Dman.

Hasn't even played a 100 Nhl games and is 20 years old.

 

[IcedCapp]

I would like to see Maatta finish a full season without requiring shoulder surgery before I declare him a top-pairing D, and beyond that, I'd rather keep he and Letang separated, simply because Maatta-Letang is putting our only two good eggs in the same basket.

Letting him carry a 2nd pair and finding a good complement for both him and Letang seems like the best way to go (similar to how the Blackhawks run Keith and Seabrook)

 

[hooverdam]

I think they look at a Letang and Maatta pairing like a Weber and Josi pairing, with DP swinging up to get some work with Letang similar to Seth Jones and Weber. Johnston liked to pair them during OT, IIRC.

 

[BHD]

Pouliot next to Letang would be a disaster. It should be...

xxxxx-Letang
Maatta-xxxxx
Pouliot-xxxxx

The rest is wide open.
