Injury Report: Seidenberg to miss remainder of season with torn ACL/MCL

[BB624]

They are in the "B" Pool. I was assuming he would go for the experience and to help them win the Pool.

I have never heard off and can't find anything on Olympic B pool hockey.

 

[hoss75]

Chiarelli knows it, the issue is, the whole league knows it now. He's going to have to overpay. It's a tough call for Chiarelli.

Maybe he can swap numbers on Caron and Spponer for a couple games and get a slower GM to trade for Caron.

 

[DKH]

How about Aaron Ward? buy out Seidenberg and give Ward back his 44 jersey- my kid might even have one hanging around that a couple of twirls in the dryer will be ready to wear

There's no "B" competition at the Games.

The teams competing at Sochi are Canada, the U.S., Russia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Latvia and the Czech Republic.

 

[BallroomBitz]

Please don't be a sturminator repeat. Zee Germans, zey knees, she bdreak.

 

[Winnwell Cooperalls]

Get well soon Denis. Time to let some kids play while encasing Chara in carbonite until April.

See, I learned something new today. I always thought the "B" pool countries competed.

Just for those who think Chiarelli would have to overpay, that isn't true. That is why we have this stock pile of young guys who we keep calling up, plugging in and they continue to excel.

Sure teams will know that we want to acquire a rental, vet defensemen for the playoffs...but we have the option to not make a trade because of those young guys.

The only time you are forced to overpay is when you have no other options.

 

[Confound]

Wouldn't mind Chia making a trade with Phoenix for Klesla.

Solid dman like Seids who could come for cheap, he was on waivers before but no one claimed him IIRC?

I hope Chia doesn't trade Morrow.

 

[Randomtask68]

There is a 0.00001% chance the Bruins would pursue this course of action, but do the 2 compliance buy outs provided by the CBA allow you to buy out the contract of a player acquired in a trade as long as their current contract was signed before the lockout or does the trade remove that player from buy out consideration? Because if the buy out was possible, the potential pool of D men available in trade would only increase.

 

[The Dangly One]

What's the recovery time on this? Bout a year standard?

That's done in the World Championships. The Olympics just features the top teams.

Six to eight months. He should be back for training camp.

 

[Braunbaer]

Imo, we won't get a top 4 D-man who can be as reliable and effective as Seidenberg.
But do we even have to? Remember during our Cup run in 2011 we had Boychuk/Ference as our second pair.

And I certainly don't want some washed up guy to play here if he isn't better than the likes of Bartkowski/Miller by a large margin.

Sure, losing Seidenberg isn't going to be the end of the world. You can always refer to the series against the Rangers, but what if we were without him against a team with an actual offense?

 

[KuralySnipes]

We lost our 2nd best defenseman, I think we need to look at a trade.

They called up Trotman instead of Miller, which I think is rediculous.

 

[De Montreal]

holy **** ... dennis seidenberg is one of the most underrated player in the league, and this is coming from a Habs ****... suck for you.

pretty sure there are qualifier tourneys for the relegated countries

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

holy **** ... dennis seidenberg is one of the most underrated player in the league, and this is coming from a Habs ****... suck for you.

I'm trying to figure out what the second "****" could possibly be.

 

[qc]

I'm more bummed than panic-stricken. I think our depth at D can handle 44's absence. Still sucks though.

I wouldn't oppose a trade for a 1yr rental, if it didn't involve giving up any high picks/prospects.

The playoffs are a long way down the road, and nobody can say what will happen to any team between now and then. What if? What if Chicago loses Toews or Kane? What if Pittsburgh loses Malkin? What if Tampa loses Bishop? Speaking of Tampa, they've been doing OK without Stamkos.

The Bruins have defensive depth, and now they're going to use it. Give the kids a chance and see how they do. They might surprise us.

Because if they call up miller once Dougie comes back who do you send down? Miller would have to clear waivers.

Lucky for them they don't need him to beat montreal

If we called him up, he'd have to stay up. If we sent him down he'd have to clear waivers

They can't do anything with Miller unless they intend on keeping him up for the balance of the season. He'd be exposed to waivers if they sent him down, and picked off for sure.

 

[TheBigZ]

I wouldn't trade for anyone. This team is more than capable of winning without Sieds. All this overreacting about who we should trade for is hysterical. You would think we just lost bergeron, chara, and krejci in one shot.
