Can’t trade him when he’s injured

 

[ncm7772]

Maatta probably tweaked his groin when he got walked in the 2nd last night.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

Well the bummer about Maata getting injured is that Olek likely draws in...sigh

Give me Rig over slow f***er any day

a joke but, if he got any kind of nagging groin injury he'd need a walker out there to get around. that could be a career ending groin pull

Chiarelli is that you

I'll take hockey IQ over a little more speed.

I'll take hockey IQ over a little more speed.

But who are you describing with hockey IQ?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Did Schultz get his cast off?

I'll take hockey IQ over a little more speed.

So we won't have Olli and Rig on our team anymore? Don't tease me man.

So what is the best case for Schultz? Beginning of February?

I would love to get him back for a handful of games before the deadline so we can analyze if we need to make more moves on D.

Initially was mid-Feb. So any earlier is a bonus. I think he'll get a good 5-10 games before TDL though.

[Le Magnifique 66]

That's great news. I do hope he get's a few games in before the deadline

 

[Zirakzigil]

At least he’s not dead with the dreaded “day-to-day” injury status.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

I know it’s not the usual but with how this team is rolling I hope when he is ready they condition stint JS for a few AHL games so when he hits NHL ice they know for sure he is ready to slot in. It won’t happen... but I wish they would.

 

[StroShow]

Ease him, he hasn't skated in 4 months. Let him get his full conditioning. Agree with @EdwardBlake, he should get 3-4 games in WBS for a conditioning stint.

He's still 5 weeks away from initial estimate. I think they ARE easing him right now. He shouldn't need AHL games vs hard practice with the NHL club.

If he's skating now, that likely means he should be ready within a few weeks, no? I could see him being back before the end of January, which would be a huge addition for the team.

Dumoulin with Letang, Maatta with Schultz and Pettersson with Johnson? I love those defensive pairs.

[Harvey Birdman]

Absolutely love that he is skating. I hope that adding him into this team clicking right now is like poring gas on the fire, I only worry about his conditioning.

The good news is that the team is playing so well that we shouldn't feel compelled to rush him. He can practice for awhile to help get back up to speed before seeing game action - no substitute for the real thing, but it's a head start.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Trocheck had a very similar injury and surgery and looks like he'll be back in Feb sometime.
He went down a week or 2 after Schultz i think...?
I'd expect Schultz back mid Feb at the latest.
Late January, earliest.
