by the way this thread counts for around the NHL

Is he NH ready  or will he need a year  on the farm?

I'd say he's nhl ready. He'd be an upgrade on Postma easily. Plus he's from North Dakota so really... it's just a matter of finishing his season with his brother and he will sign

They both suck.

I sure hope he signs with the Jets. We do have the upper hand on the rest of the league by about $92,500.

And the fact that he's a big family guy and winnipeg is actually the closest nhl city to his family in like grand forks 

Paul Maurice said Joel Armia is ahead of Shawn Matthias and Nic Petan when it comes to coming back from injury...

jets injury updates:

Armia may be back in Vancouver
Matthias and Petan after Christmas
Myers still week to week

I'd think Armia gets until after Xmas also just because why not let him heal completely. Give him the Xmas break 

That would certainly be the smart move.

Aww too bad

Don't think that happens.  But something similar I could see. Still think Colorado is his likely destination 

Eddie Lack has suffered a concussion and will be out indefinitely 

Monteral Canadiens announce Brendan Gallagher underwent surgery last night in Montreal to repair a fractured left hand. His recovery is expected to be minimum 8 weeks.

 

And....Laine has a concussion with no time table to return.....there goes the calder. But his health is a bigger priority than the NHL awards.

 

It's a good thing we aren't playing the Sabres again this year because next time McCabe WILL have a target on his back

He was never going to win the Calder, as long as he continues to get better and help this team win and become a perennial playoff contender that's all that interest's me.

he has helped this team win *that own goal incident aside*

Laine concussed is no big surprise....out at least a week.

 

Terrible news. 18 years old. Ugh.

Ahh, he's in the running for sure.

No. It's Matthews and has always been. It's Matthews to lose. Bottom line. .. Toronto vs Winnipeg 

Laine would have to put perform Matthews by far more than Matthews would have to put perform Laine to win the Calder. 

Again, some in the media in Toronto have made up their mind who should win and the season is barely half over and they are neck in neck in points.

Not sure where this out at least a week thing comes from. Concussions are interesting things. He Def won't play tomorrow but he could be back the next game. The fact that he flew home with the team was at practice watching suggests it's a mild concussion.  There is no time frame on that. It's day to day.

There are doctors out there that would argue there is no such thing as a mild concussion.  You are either concussed or not.
