Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I sure hope he is OK but it doesn't look good. Never like to see anybody get hurt. No question that Carolina is all in and will be looking to replace him if he is out for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree ... he injured his Achilles tendon before training camp and had it surgically repaired; now the same leg has given out again (and it had the appearance of a classic Achilles injury) ... I am not certain I recall a player in any sport coming back from two serious Achilles injuries to the same leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 So I guess Byron will retire this offseason? I thought he would have been a good deadline pickup at 50% retained for a contender if he was back on the ice this year, he was always a solid playoff performer. Wouldn't have beaten the Leafs without his epic third period dangle in game one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two different injuries. The ACL is bad, Achillies is worse though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible news about Patches ☹️ Tough break personally and professionally ... he is a pending UFA ... with what I am certain will be a lengthy recovery after surgery (assuming he does want to come back) somebody could potentially get quite a bargain next season.

sbhatt Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Caufield out for the season news was a real gut-punch....my one reason to watch games in their entirety on the regular in this rocky season is now gone. This is great for the tank I guess, but I'm still pissed. The 'hockey gods' can go F themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 11 players -- that's half the roster. Admittedly Price and Byron have been on LTIR all season, but even excluding them, we have six (!) forwards injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caufield — who played 17-plus minutes in Thursday’s loss to Florida — has been playing through the injury for a while, per the team. $64,000 Question: why did they let him play "for a while", or did a more minor injury get aggravated against Florida? If surgery was always the eventual solution, why risk the injury becoming more serious and incapacitating him (i.e., rendering him unable to play)? There is also the matter of how this impacts contract negotiations ... will the Habs have concerns about how much term to offer? ... will CC want term for security?

Double Ouch!! That really sucks!! He is so much fun to watch. My only concern now is that it will not be a lingering injury and he gets 100% healthy for next year. He was almost guaranteed to score against Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMAC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 From I read,via Eric Engles, I think , his agent (Brisson) believes shutting him down now will allow him to be ready for training camp next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
