Injury Report: 2022-23 Injuries/Covid Thread

Not unexpected. Big blow to his development though.

Not sure if the extra 5-10 games this season will be a big blow. The big blow was the initial injury.

It stinks but it’s the right move. No reason to rush him back with how this season has been going.

I think that is what he meant. The initial injury.

Yeah, to clarify, just meant the fact that he missed basically an entire season. We saw how that affected Jones. Hopefully it won't take Drysdale as long to get back into gear next year. It's going to be a challenge, especially if he doesn't wind up with a defensive partner that compliments him.

He is still young but verbeek has to get him and Fowler support. I’m not even worried about the forward group. That will improve with a better blue line.

That's a good point. There's something to be said about the philosophy of "building from the net out."

I just don't know what our options could be with getting those guys the proper support. The influx of young talent on the blueline turning pro complicates things further.

You don't want too many stop-gaps signed for too long because it could prevent the younger players from breaking through. I'm not sure if that's how Verbeek and/or the next coach (assuming Eakins is gone) will view things, but it wouldn't surprise me if they preferred veterans over younger players. I think that's a common tendency among coaches/management.

As unfortunate as it is for him to miss the year; IMO, the bolded is far more important than him missing the year.

This team needs a new coach and it needs to start next year. If we're not tolerating players who don't contribute we need to hold coaches to the same level.

It's difficult to measure either way. Both definitely have their impacts though.

I think it's more likely than not this team will have a new coach if not a new staff next year.

I’m happy they’re not rushing him back. He should be really ready for next season

Rico understood the tank assignment. Verbeek and his minion ball of hates:

I like hearing Rico getting closer, but let's be on the safe side and shut him down for the rest of the season. There's no need to induce an unnecessary injury that could potentially hamper us next season.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Rico should be held out for TRR. He might be traded this summer.

Too bad about Regenda. Him, Neste and Lunde could perhaps be an interesting 3rd line next season.

Wonder if this will turn out to be another thing that's been nagging all year and has been impacting his performance.

That excuse might have been valid last year, not so much this one.

I guess he will start his roller skating beer league preseason early. I wonder if we wait to decide on signing him to his RFA contract after checking in on off-season progress.
