hockeyville88 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Kesler needs to change the way he plays IMO He can't be the raging bull that plows through traffic and then goes flying into the boards. His career will be severely limited if he keeps doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Hockey Place Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Grumble...grumble.... Hodgson...never going to get ice time behind Sedin and Kesler... dammit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 So best bet he's back by November. Hopefully Schroeder is NHL-ready. He'll have to be. All I really want is Kesler not to come back early. Hopefully he learned by last year that coming back early will screw you up for a whole year., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Chara also suffered a similar injury. After that surgery in the summer he went onto score a career-high in goals the very next season. Obviously, 'full recovery time' is a lot shorter for pro atheletes with every resource under the sun available to them. Cheers. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Wow, what a band-aid. Seriously, will Kesler every be able to get through a season without needing surgery? This does not bode well for the Canucks. Kesler will once again come back to early and AV will bow down and let him do what he wants. Brutal.

mpt Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Fill the hole at centre and move Kesler to the wing. The surgery isn't that bad and can't really be used as an excuse. Lots of players play through it. Samuellson played with a torn labrum for 3 seasons before having surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectacular Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hopefully he doesn't rush back and takes a bit of time off working on that shot of his after he's cleared to play Jordan Schroeder, where art thou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Unfortunately,I think Kesler is always going to be injury prone...due to his reckless style of play.On the upside,..I cannot wait to see a healthy Kesler,he can virtually dominate a game all by himself (as he did in against Nashville in the 2011 playoff run).

GuzzIer Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Guzzler will take his center position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well, there it is. Jordan Schroeder just got his chance to shine. I just hope we get some depth so we don't have to lean on the Sedins so much for the beginning of the year when Kesler is out for offense. Schroeder will make our 2nd PP unit so much better as well so I'm excited to see him make the jump. The only thing Schroeder lacks that Hodgson has is the so-called "character/intangibles/leadership" and size. Schroeder, on the other hand, has NHL speed and slightly better purely skill-wise.

DeNiro Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well realistically we needed to address the second line this offseason anyways. Maybe this forces Gillis's hand to try and land us a big name center. Could even be part of a Luongo deal I guess. Booth Trade Kesler Although I think we need a top defenceman first.
