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 Ever the optimist, hey Skilly? |

Laine doesn't require surgery. He has a sprained knee, out 2-3 months

We might never see him on the team at this point. He may feel playing in Europe is safer and more lucrative Ever the optimist, hey Skilly? It's not me, it's just using the logic of others. I'm on record as saying he didn't need the mandatory Laval prison stay. If he isn't playing in 2024-25, then how capeople think he'll start next year in the Habs line-up, when they thought he needed Laval this year. So they'll play him in 2025-26 in Laval, test the knee. We drafted him in 2023, how long do you think he'll wait to be put into the NHL, when he has European teams lined up to have him. If he isn't in the line-up in 2026-27, he stays in Europe after Xmas 2026. That's my bold prediction. |

The European leagues may be safer, but the money simply does not compare. If a kid thinks about okay I see a solid but basically middling veteran d-man like David Savard with over $40 million in career earnings, that kid is going to realize the NHL is the most lucrative league in the world and it is not even close.
Regarding Reinbacher losing a key season of development, it is certainly a big blow. But he should be physically ready to go next season, so it would be up to him to win a roster spot in camp. I think he can do it. The issue that I have with Reinbacher ever since his draft year is that the kid does not really have the kind of ceiling I like to see in a 5th overall pick. And I believe seeing him as one of NHL's top defense prospects or even a likely top pair guy for the Habs is creating expectations that do not make a lot of sense.

Dvorak, Armia and Gallagher healthy. Luck? |

Glad to see Laine lower the temperature on this.It was getting out of hand a few days ago.
I wonder how players that don't know each other find someone's number. How would Pare know how to get in touch with Laine?

A concern I have (yeah, I have more concerns than I can count), is that Laine got 2 diagnoses. The first guy suggested surgery. The second guy said, "nah", not necessary". That's just two opinions. A third might say, "let's do Tommy John surgery on both knees, just in case".
Who is right? I'm assuming that they monitor his progress for a month or two and if nothing is happening, we pick door #1 again. I'm not popping that January Champagne bottle yet though I hope Dr. #1 was Recchi.

I just read an article on NHL.com about this. It doesn't say anything about multiple opinions but it does quote Laine. It was his decision to opt for rehab over surgery. I dont know the difference in recovery times for either option but Laine did not want to go under the knife. |

As a guy dealing with a knee issue for the last two years, it won't matter how much he rehabs it, it won't be 100% and eventually he will need some sort of surgery to clean up the scar tissue. What I can see happening is that he'll rehab it to the point where it's probably at 75%, he'll play the rest of the season out if he doesn't reinjure it. Then when the season is over, he'll opt for at the bare minimum a scope to clean out all the damage and to re-assess the damage, rehab it all summer and be ready to play sometime in October.

This was from Marinaro's repost on twitter seventeenThat’s the same thing I saw. But he doesn’t say if it was a second opinion, or a group of doctors who saw him at the same time. I get the impression it was a group of doctors and Laine made the final call after hearing the pros and cons |

And news reports are saying Slafs is a game time decision. When you watch that video, there is no way he plays against NYI. |

If they could ever get the puck out of their end, the players would be less vulnerable by always playing on their heels. Hello coaches.
That being said, losing their biggest offensive off season addition and now losing the best defender so far this season sucks. It truly never seems to end.

Does he have or recovering from a dislocated shoulder or did he pull a muscle?
It looks like it's aggrevating him.
Dr Cranky says that someone smarter then Dr Cranky has to find the root cause and rest him if it will get worse.
The brilliant system we have in place will offset his and Guhles loss.

I'd like to see Roy back with the Habs soon. Looks like the immediate plan is to bump Dach to the Suzuki line in Slaf's spot and give Kapanen a shot at centering a line with Newhook and Armia. Pezzetta makes his season debut tonight also. |

There is good and bad in this.
Good...because if Dachs problem is in his head then scoring a few will be a hell of an upper.
Bad...one line team and cheap choclate filler.
Defense is another black hole with so many unknowns and questions. Is the Hutson-Mailman pairing a real thing that Marty believes in? Neither are defensive dynamos, more like defensive donkeys but both have offense coming out pf their kazoo.
If you look at the Mailman goal, when Mailman went to the point, Hutson drew back to the blueline. BRILLIANT execution of what to do. So these two may lack size or experience, but they don't lack IQ. Them getting trapped for four minutes is an unfortunate byproduct, not a feature.
Anywho...how do we turn lemons...into lemonade empires!

That shift could have been a lot shorter. |
