I really hope this thread stays small throughout the year, but figure this is a good place to keep all the injury related activities of the main roster. Anyone have official news on Laine or Reinbacher?

In Reinbacher's case this injury is a real setback in terms if development. Lkke Dach last year everything gets pushed back a year.

Do we know how long Laine is going to be gone?

I think at this point the team must be looking into second and third opinions. This tells me 12 to 16 weeks or out for the year scenario.

Do we know how long Laine is going to be gone? Stu Cowan says he is hearing 4 to 6 months but nothing definitive yet from team |

Something I should have noted earlier. The ‘typical’ strategy is to play your truer roster at home, but doing that ensures your good players are up against slugs who have nothing better to do than injure you. If health is more important than $$, match up your good guys with their good guys and no one will want to be hurt. The fly in the soup, of course is selling tickets to see Gignac and Barre-Boulet or Cedric Pare at the Bell Centre.

The injury sucks. We likely won't see Laine until 2025
But ... we still have the same roster starting the season as we had before acquiring Laine, with the additions of Dach and Hutson.
If we finish in the bottom 5, like I think we will, then next year we add Laine, Demidov, Reinbacher, and the top 5 pick

I'm starting to wish more and more that we chose Michkov over Reinbacher. His injury history is starting to concern me. Sounds like 4 to 6 months for Laine. |

A lot of us preferred Michkov over Reinbacher. Not saying we were clairvoyant but a line of Michkov and Demidov plus anyone else would look good. |

It sounds like 4-6 months for Reinbacher too.
Well, all the organization can do is get him the best doctors and best physical therapists for his recovery. I am sure there is still a good chance he can became a solid NHL d-man for a long time. So it is premature to see all gloom and doom.
LA, yes, as you allude to, many Habs fans, myself included, wanted Michkov badly in 2023 (though I admit to having asinine takes as well, Zadina over Tkachuk). It is what it is. Michkov is very likely to be much more impactful player than Reinbacher in the NHL, but Montreal needs this kid to recover, stay healthy, and become a solid second pair RHD.

Just to be contrary, I wasn't a big Michkov fan. The offensive talent is there, but a winning team doesn't need a selfish type who doesn't seem to care much about the defensive side of the game. He seems too much like a Jeff Skinner, who has played (checks stats) zero playoff games. We have yet to see Michkov play against a regular NHL side. Torts seems willing to give him a long leash, but scorpions are scorpions, so I don't think that is going to last too long.

I'm hearing best case is that they are both back in February. Depending on rehab they could sit the year.

Looks like it might not be as bad for both Laine and Reinbacher Attachments:

The doctor came into the room all happy...
"I have good news, we're not cutting off both legs, you're
just paralyzed below the hip ".
All our Laine fantasies are now on hiatus and should not be revisited this year. Coming back for ten games means nothing if we don't make the playoffs, which is unlikely.

They didn't wait long to operate. He's not even 20 yet and already major knee surgery. 6 months brings it to April so the whole season is a write off. Should have been a learning year in Laval which will now have to wait a full season.

Lost season for Reinbacher before it begins. Brutal news. Horrible for a key development year.

It's beginning to look that way. Wasn't he injured in the world championships in his draft year, and then at the start of the season last year in Europe. That's 3 injuries in the last 18 or so months. |

Sometimes it's just bad luck. Dach's hit last year didn't look bad either. And sometimes there's some correlation with growth. Let's not pin a label on this guy. Another point is that medical technology has improved a lot since Bobby Orr's time. If Orr had been around today, his knee problems would probably have been repaired well and he'd have had a long career.

Maybe someone should invent a knee brace that still allows a player flexibility.
Or pre-instal titanium knees...
The first time i played competitive team sport was football and when i saw a fellow student with a huge scar and knee surgery...i took up competitive TiddleWinks...
The only other sport was beer league hockey but in that one i was on my ass most of the time so no threat to my knees!
Age has annoyed me with some minor issues...but it's not my knees.

Given that most saw Reinbacher in Laval this year, when he returns from injury, it is now almost certain he'll start in Laval. Don't expect Reinbacher in a Habs uniform now until 2027. We might never see him on the team at this point. He may feel playing in Europe is safer and more lucrative
