Does anyone know who the head of security is for the wings? I talked to him before the game Monday and all he said was “Gino will be out for a long time”

He’s a great guy. Anyone else met him?

Damn, this will hurt his development. I'm still pulling for him. Love his work ethic.

Yikes! Prospect killer is right. I too am still pulling for him but this really stings.

If you want to keep a re-build on track, you need to hit with your first-round picks.

so...we're not dealing him to Carolina for Faulk because they want to unite the Svechnikov brothers?

The kid's got a long, hard road ahead of him. Hope his rehab goes better than expected and he can start next season fully healed, strengthened, and ready to roll. He's losing so much development time, though.

As a trivia question, does he get paid his AHL or NHL salary while on IR ?

Right, but Svechnkov was drafted #19, the last year the Red Wings made the playoffs. That pick was not "part of the rebuild." Also, injuries happen.

I don’t understand when this happened. Ignorance I guess.

Did the knee injury happen in the pre-season or before? I didn’t realize it was this bad, which is odd because I saw most of the pre-season. I know he’s had a rough couple of injuries, but man this sucks for him.

Hope he recovers well. Hopefully he can still be a solid NHL’er still who can contribute

It happened on the last pre-season game vs Toronto. Tough break for him and for the Wings/Griffins.

I wish Geno the best in his recovery, it's a real heartbreaking development in this seemingly minor injury up until this point.
He'll be playing hockey in the summer, but this is an extremely unfortunate time for him.

This is pretty devastating news. I’m not sure what to make of Svechnikov as a prospect, feel like he’s missing a few things, but this is a crippling blow to his chances long term. Really sucks.
