The Ryan Murray Thread (17' season injuries)

Preds' Forsberg out 4-6 weeks.

 

Hopefully Danault is alright.
A little too fast and loose from Chara there, more of a dump in than actual SOG I think.

 

Shattenkirk out indefinitely.
Kreider already out too. Rags should sell this deadline.

 

Nugent-Hopkins to miss 5-6 weeks for Oilers with cracked ribs

 

Would Leafs guys be ok with a McDonagh for Marner swap?

 

That looks like a good deal, although I would do a trade for the 21 year old equivalent.

 

Money would be an obstacle in this hypothetical, JVR might have to get shipped too. Or the Rags eat some money and the Leafs compensate them for it.

 

If jvr plus a pick and a prospect could land a justin faulk type, I'd go for it. The only time jvr exists in when he's 10 feet from the net. He's probably the highest paid player outside that 10 foot mark.

 

McAvoy out at least two weeks for Bruins after having heart procedure
Defenseman second on Bruins in average ice time per game

 

Palat out 6-8 weeks for Lightning with lower-body injury
Forward was injured during loss against Wild on Sunday

 

He's out of the hospital now, keep a close eye on this one. The leafs wasted a first round pick on Luca Cereda, a swiss player with a heart condition.

 

Thornton out for several weeks (Knee)

 

In news that may startle and dismay all hockey fans young and old:
Zach Bogosian, D, Buffalo Sabres, is undergoing surgery and is shut down for the season. Whaaaa, Bogo missing ice time?!

Not to worry, teams that covet blueline reinforcement at the trade deadline. Josh Gorges remains available. Nathan Beaulieu? ... Jake McCabe ... Justin Falk ... Tennyson?

There are plenty of bodies in Buffalo.

 

Jets have been riddled with injuries at D this year.

Trouba out 6 to 8 weeks
Kulikov still out.
Byfuglien missed 10 games earlier this year.

 

• Crawford not traveling with Blackhawks for three-game road trip
• Forsberg could return for Predators on Tuesday
• Trouba to miss 6-8 weeks for Jets with ankle injury
• McAvoy returns to Bruins, expects to make full recovery
• Hall expected to return for Devils on Tuesday

 

Hedman is a game time decision...

 

Let’s say you can hypothetically have any defenseman in the league starting today and then going forward, is there anyone better than Hedman?

 

Nope, not in my opinion.

 

Who then?
