Helm has MCL sprain, out 4-6 weeks

[jollymania 162]

hopefully he heals quickly and is back for the playoffs at most only missing 1 or 2

This is better news than I thought. I was expecting much longer than a month or so. In any event it will be a good boost to get that type of energy in the midst of the playoffs.

We don't really have anyone else who can be an effective workhorse as a 3rd line center. Maybe Abby, but I think Helm is better at center than he is.

We've already been playing useless Emmerton on the 4th line all season as a center. Does he move up one line now?

s*** on a stick.

Helm has been one of our best and hardest working players night in and night out.

3rd line should go Miller-Abby-Cleary

4th line will stay Homer-Emmerton-Mursak

andersson up? honestly our 4th line just looks like a compilation of spare parts. Homer-Emmertom-Mursak does not have chemistry or a distinct style of play. You have homer just trying to keep up, mursak all over the place, and emmerton getting beat physically by gritty fourth line guys. We need to address this and andersson has the size to play 4th line centre over emmerton.

I'd rather see this overall for a deeper looking bottom 6.

3rd line Miller-Abby-Mursak

4th line Homer-Andersson-Cleary

This is bad news. As much as I'd like him back on the ice, I would rather him take as long as he needs so that it's healed up. Get well soon Darren!

exactly what i was thinking! Make it 6 if he's 100%

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Worst news of the season by far. Get well soon Helm you will be missed

[cnot19 191]

this really hurts the bottom lines

Sheahan is a lock to be signed to the team next season. All of these injuries really are showing how vital depth centers really are. I'd rather have Riley than emmerton or any other young pup centers we have in our minors right now.

Good thing we picked up some help on forwards before the deadline.

Good thing we picked up some help on forwards before the deadline.

What would you have traded and for whom? There were only a couple sellers and two dozen buyers.

Even worse, if he is seriously injured it could affect his speed whenever he does return.

that's the 1st thing i thought too. obviously i thought i want him to be ok, but my 1st worry was the kid losing his meal ticket...
