CenterIce 83 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) so will he be put on LTIR so we can call up another player? Not needed right now because they have all ready called up Janik. http://www.capgeek.com/charts.php?Team=15 Putting Draper on short-term injured reserve made a roster spot for Janik, and his salary fit in what they had left under the cap.

CenterIce 83 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 Bummer that he didn't discover the issue in the summer and get it scoped out then, but I'd rather get it over with in October than April. I am assuming it is the same knee he had cleaned out over the summer. I guess it didn't respond to that. I know its not needed...I just wanted to see smith What, to ride the bench? The Wings would not have brought him up, yet. They already have a young Kindl in. Janik is the first depth defenseman that gets called up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 I am assuming it is the same knee he had cleaned out over the summer. I guess it didn't respond to that. It isn't uncommon for older hockey players with bad knees to have multiple cleanings over the tail end of their careers. Obviously it's not desirable to have to do this yearly, but I imagine the wear on his knees is far above and beyond that of the average hockey player his age. Rafalski has probably played almost 300 games over the last 3 seasons (including preseason games and the Olympics). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 Yeah nhl network says knee surgery. It's worth mentioning that this type of arthroscopic knee surgery is minimally invasive and has a relatively quick turn-around compared to other knee surgeries. This isn't an issue as serious as Kronwall or Franzen's knee injuries last season. Kronwall had an arthroscopic procedure on his knee just before camp and didn't miss much time. 3 or 4 weeks isn't so bad compared to having him grind it out on that knee all season.

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted October 12, 2010 Because having it happen in October completely eliminates it from ever happening again? No, obviously it doesn't nor did I imply that. All I was saying was it could have been at a worse time, which still may happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 This team is deep, but not very deep at D. As soon as that knee is 90% we need him back out here. Having Kindl and Ericsson out there at the same time is not a good thing, hopefully Janik sees a lot of playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
