Great news that he will have a "normal" offseason with training and the fractured femur won't hinder him at all in his preparation for next season...we need him at his best.

Have any NHLers been through this before?
Any pro athletes?
It seems to me like a big deal to me.

Teemu Selanne broke his leg after he was drafted. Came back okay.

Femur is the biggest bone in the body. I'm skeptical that an athlete can break it, get a metal rod screwed to it, and come back without losing any speed. I'm concerned that we've seen the best of Keller.

I hope some other top level athlete has shown that it can be done.

 

[Jamieh]

Timing is probably good for Keller. Lots of time to get over the mental aspect of injury before he has to compete again.

 

[Grimes]

Do we officially know what the injury was?

Kevin Fiala

Thanks. That actually makes me feel better. Fiala is putting together a nice career post injury.

I also appreciate rt's first hand accounts. I just wasn't sure if he would know if he lost 15% of his acceleration or 10% of his top speed.

19% more than the original model, Heath Barkley...

Stralman has said he loves living and playing in AZ, but does the team love him enough to sign him? Don't know. If we're not expecting a playoff caliber roster next season (and who is), there are worse options.

Here's a case study on pro athletes that suffered a broken femur and returned to playing. The research subjects were two NHL, one NFL, and one MLB.

- average time to return to play was 9.5 months (range, 7–13 months)

- Final radiographs revealed that all fractures were well healed.

- No athletes had subjective complaints or concerns that performance was affected by the injury

- All players returned to previous levels of performance or exceeded previous statistical performance levels.

Anyone wondering if the AZ talks with Montreal about taking on Weber’s contract also included the Habs other headache Logan Mailleaux as the “compensation” for taking on that contract? It makes sense to me because I don’t think Habs ownership were very pleased with that selection and i’m going to be honest I don’t think the ownership wants that kid part of the organization period let alone signed to a contract. That was a GM and a head scout not reading the desired culture by management.

EJ Henderson of the Vikings did it! Played 3 more years including a Pro-Bowl selection post injury.

An snow boarder Mark McMorris broke his femur in Feb 2016 and won medals at the 2018 and 2022 Olympics.

After Mitch Miller, I think this gets vetoed by ownership.

You would think but I’m scouring their prospect list to find something that makes sense and this would make sense for Habs ownership.

Doubt this sits well with Chychrun.

So if I read it correctly JJ Moser has the second most total points out of any player drafted in the 2021 draft this season, thats pretty cool (his TP is 15, Sillinger in CBJ has 31).
