Injury Report: William Nylander possibly exposed to COVID-19

[Guided by Veseys]

If we only had traded him for Marcus Foligno then all this could have been avoided.

 

[LeafSteel]

POSTPONE PARADE!!!

that would be the Leafiest of things to happen.

Finally win a Cup for the first time in forever and then have all celebrations wiped out by a pandemic.....

 

[Menzinger]

 

[ShaneFalco]

That's it - trade him!

 

[DougGilmour93]

Can we still trade a player that’s on a covid protocol list?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Ugh. Better safe than sorry but still disappointing.

 

[Hockey Fanatik]

I thought the teams werent allowed to disclose specific covid information as it relates to players?

 

[ToMaLe]

He will be out for the next 7 days, covid protocol

Gross.

3 more games. Not terrible.

Why the “at least”?

 

[DopeyFish]

Why the “at least”?

because if he gets covid, timeline will change.

right now it's just exposure so they're not sure if he has it or not.

 

[Menzinger]

If this is the worst the Leafs get, I consider it to be pretty lucky.

Sucks about missing Nylander, but I suppose it gives him a bit of extra rest in case he was nursing any minor injuries as a silver lining

 

[ottomaddox]

I'm glad they are not taking any risks.

I wonder if there are any rules regarding this scenario.

 

[Madap]

As long as he’s okay, and the rest of the team is too, who cares if he misses time. It’s not that much - he’ll still be good when he comes back.

Regular season doesn’t even matter at this point anymore. We’re a lock for the playoffs and that’s all that matters for us. Just make sure everyone is healthy then.

100% I don't know what our magic number is to clinch 1st in the division, but the second it happens (and if it does) start resting players like crazy.

Only playoff success matters.

All I'm going to say about this thread is....

The sheep is strong in here.

 

[crump]

Lets hope it's all negative results. On the bright side (assuming he is negative) he gets a bit of a break, should come back refreshed, a good chance for Galchenyuk and Mikheyev to show what they can do with top line mates.

Yeah seriously. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching the leafs any time of the year, but I really just want to get to the playoffs now and see what damage we can do.

Agreed. Start resting the boys, especially Jumbo, Spezza, Simmer, Matty, Campbell. You can periodically rest the others as well.

Guys like Jumbo and Simmer are made for playoffs, and I think we see big worth resting for that.

5 wins or 10 points to clinch 4th
