Damn. Explains the Logan Brown call up. Balcers is expected back soon too I think.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Ugh. Time to call up Klimchuk and Szwarz I guess.

 

[2CHAINZ]

well there goes the playoffs

I heard mid-November for Balcers

well there goes the playoffs

And White Connie Smythe

Well now we know why White started fading fast. He seems to have a bit of a hard time staying healthy... Starting to get worried.

In a couple of months you will hear Dorian say that we would have been a playoff team had it not been for the injuries.

He wouldn't dare... oh wait, yes he would, he did exactly that last year.

Thanks for the chuckle

Is it too late to get Paajarvi back from the KHL?

I wonder if White gets sent to the minors to rehab / regain confidence under the illusion of this mini hip flexor thingy he has been playing with.

He is very present in the back check. I think his defensive "flaws" are exaggerated. For his first game he held his own in puck battles. He gets three home games before they go out on the road for a while. If Brown continues to play like that White is coming back as a winger and I'm not sure where he fits in with DUC, NAMES, and RYAN at RW.

Lol your anti White quest has no bounds.

I like White .. I just wish we viewed him as a project. Someone will be injured but White will have a hard time out playing DUC, NAMES, and possibly Ryan on the right side. If Bath gets called up it makes it more complicated

They just invested massively in him and you think because he got hurt he is going to lose his spot and what be a healthy scratch?... Its absurd.

Thought Brown played really well tonight, when he gets going he can fly. He was dangerous and had a couple great back checks. I like him in the offensive zone, great active stick good at creating space.

well.. he wasn't playing well and lost his spot (1st line) . I'm just saying it gets tricky placing White into a mix of RW's that includes NAMES, DUC, RYAN, & BATH. Ideally White would stand out amongst that group. It is equally challenging at C with BROWN, PAGER, and CT. CT has been effective at times and who knows if the sens want to limit his trade visibility on the wing. If Brown isn't playing well he is probably in the AHL ...

You really dont understand how it works eh.

Are you insinuating that this is a fake or inflated injury situation?

No. Not all all. I assume there is a minor injury a doctor can validate. For the most part, if I say my hip flexor is sore, my hip flexor is sore.

I assume if we were in the playoffs he may play through it but since he is a young asset we are being cautious. The injury does have secondary advantage of giving him a break (his play and moral were spiralling downwards) and opening up the option of a rehab stint in Belleville which I believe his contract status wouldn’t allow otherwise (without clearing waivers).

Correct - I’m blind to many of ways you “understand how it works...” I don’t see the “elite” strength, speed, or scoring you do in White so feel free to acknowledge that and hide my posts which may limit your need for using insulting sarcasm.

My point was sliding White back into a RW mix possible including Bath, Duc, Names, and Ryan will be tricky - you can believe it will or won’t be but cut the sarcasm. I’ve read enough of your posts to know you are not always right.

White's hip flexor is interesting

I saw all kinds of examples of White's speed last year but not this year. A hip flexor / groin issue explains that. And 3 to 5 weeks says it is beyond minor.

The other issue with White is the NHL is a "slotting" league. White's been playing above his ideal slot....seemingly with a mobility impairment

 

[Yak]

I think he has been hurt and bit overwhelmed trying to play with the injury. White ceiling is 2nd line center in my eyes ,that's where he needs to be slotted to excel.

Time to heal and watch the game and few conditioning games in the AHL might just be what the doctor ordered.

 

[Icelevel]

Try white on the wing when he gets back. White/Norris probably going to have to move over at some point.
