I could definitely see him retiring after this contract too. Sounds like next season’s Gagner.. waived to the minors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of Robidau Island treatment? I say play him as little as possible next season, and hope we get a OJ k for him at the 2020 TDL. Same goes for Tanev.

The good thing is that Benning has stated, and stuck to his word on players worthy of playing in the bigs, play.. those not , don’t. We haven’t seen Schaller for a while either.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy recently turned 30 and for a player that age, that's not a good sign. Especially for a player who's supposed to be a "foundation player". I never said he was healthy, I said he was good. I can't understand how fans can hate on a player for something that they have almost no control over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There trade value goes down, for starters. Also, Brandon doesn't play with that typical "Sutter" edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 It's insanely frustrating seeing how injury prone he is with us. Especially given he had like 5+ seasons (he played 48 of 48 games in the lockout season) with 70+ games played. Did Tanev rub off on him in the worst way possible? At this point the pluses he brings on the ice isn't worth keeping him around when he's injured almost half the time. It's part of the reason why I think it'd be fine moving Tanman too. They are too injured too often that the pros to keeping them aren't worth that con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed a grand total of 3 games over 5 seasons before coming to us. 3 season missing 0 games, an 81, and an 80 game season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is still injury prone next year we may have to bite the bullet and eat half his salary to get another team to take him. The same with Baertschi. Either that or both have to go on LTIR for a couple years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter has had some major injuries this year and that has to impact his play. He is a quality 3C who has been bumped to 2C to cover other players injuries. I doubt Benning gives up on him easily since he is a leader and quality person. That said the youth might make him expendable especially if value comes back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could say it is only 1 this year and that it reoccurred. They never announced one last season though. He had the broken jaw and the shoulder injury. The McLeod concussion was in February 2017 - that was officially his 3rd one. As for now Green said it's not a new concussion but post-concussion syndrome from the October one.

Don't remember the exact quote. Not sure they all happened in the last couple years, more likely his entire career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too bad about Schaller, like Lucic, they “game” is passing him.. to be honest, I was all for Lucic, but the back and forth speed of the game has even Eriksson hanging on by a thread. I am enjoying this new evolution in the game, we are ahead of some teams in the change, .. but it’s amazing how Tampa has seemed to keep it on the fly. Yzerman. Full Credit. Seattle next for him?
