Yeah he should have been LTIR'ed after they got Kane and then they would have been able to bring up replacements.
I'm sure Lindy is always injured enough that any 3rd party assessment of him would say he is warranted on being LTIR anyway.
Yeah, probably true. Knowing Lindy, he probably was already beat up and nursing other things ailing him. My hopes aside from this major injury is that all the other bumps, bruises, nicks, cuts a overall pain is subsiding and making him 100% healthy for the PO's. If anyone hasn't noticed, he is an integral part of this defense.
Trouba has the C, the big name and all his crunching hits.
Foxy has the entire NHL deked, and they know what he is all about. All-Star
KAM has all the glitter of a young, huge body and wing span, future star look out.
That leaves Lindy doing all the physical rough stuff, a necessity within the game.
Notice we have been losing and blaming the inconsistency of the roster? Losing him was detrimental and a great part of it. We need him healthy, desperately.
