He's had a bad wrist for 4 years. Similar to Granlund. I'm assuming these guys know what they're talking about since they have access to top shelf care. After 4 years though, you'd think it's something that requires more than just "rest" - which you get pretty much zero of during a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I've had problems with my right wrist since I was 10 and it didn't stop me from playing hockey or doing physical things or typing 75wpm, wonder how bad Sutter has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, all things considered I don't see why he wouldn't jump right in. It's not like we don't have room and/or are competing for anything other than pride. His coach said he'd probably be able to do just that. Ideally, he signs an ATO so he can play meaningful games and hopefully playoffs in Utica, but I highly doubt it.

I know cause I have it. I haven't treated it but the surgery is pretty easy apparently, just snip the tendons I believe and the pain is gone. Its almost like removing your tonsils, so I hear.

We'll know on Thursday. If ND loses to Boston he's available to us (or Utica) If they win, we'll have to wait til next year. Utica is 1 point behind St. Johns for the final playoff spot in their division, with 12 games left. So no guarantee there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter before he came here missed a grand total of less than 10 games his whole career I think, maybe even less. It's just a string of bad luck, it helps the tank lol.

Spoosh Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Major bugger! Really wanted to see Markus put up 20 goals this year.Would have looked good to have that in your first full year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 6 hours ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Yeah, agreed about Sutter. Seems like the worst kept secret on the team that he's playing through something. Just shut him down now so he can get as much time as possible to be ready for next year. Shame Granlund won't get his 20th. I suspect he's known for a little while that this was the plan and that's why he and his teammates were really pushing for that 20th goal (especially that recent game where he had a ton of shots). But definitely makes sense to do surgery now and give him a long period to rehab, recover, and be fully trained for next year's camp and season. I'd like to see the twins get some rest too because they seem both to be nursing something. Maybe just some minor tweaks or soreness, but why not sit them out for a few games here and there, just so there's no chance they aggravate something else and end up needing rehab over the summer. Play the kids. Rest the vets. And shut down anybody who's banged up/injured. It makes too much sense so that means Canucks won't do it. The lineup will probably be.

Cramarossa was skating with Larsen - probably means that Skille is ready to return. He's on the trip but Gaunce and Eriksson are not. According to WD Goldobin will probably miss another couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should admit our$h*tuation..there'd be more dignity in it. ..Yes folks, at this point we must collectively feel like Carson Wells being trolled by a psychopathic hockeyGawd, in form of Anton Chiguhr with a vengeance. Nasty run of fortune. Perhaps ALL this lame luck reverses at the draft-lotto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
