Will the Wild Have To Consider Long-Term Injured Reserve With Jared Spurgeon?

Yes and it sucks. 😕

[OldDutchChip]

I think we talk w spurge and tell him at this point the best way forward is likely to rest up and get well on IR until playoffs

at trade deadline we can be very aggressive as oppose to last year because (a) money wise we may be able to retain more for following year and (b) spurge $ will be on IR and that’s a big chunk

let’s say sabres or red wings plummet and make tuch or larkin available or who knows who…..tkachuk? Nylander? be nice for us to swoop in and do what Vegas did w Stone and Eichel and we have the attractive pieces (prospects that yet to sour)

then at the end of year we all welcome a healthy Spurgeon back to playoffs, or if he aged himself out of playing shape, let’s see how that can’t miss D stud looks -Zeev

shit, getting all optimistic here

From Russo’s nyt article:
He and Trenin teamed up to assist on Marco Rossi’s second goal in as many games Saturday, but other than that, they’ve created little.

Foligno doesn’t have a shot on goal in five games. Trenin has four.

“We haven’t done enough offensively,” Foligno said. “But we hope that we can figure it out. 

Zero shots!!  Foligno has been hockey play challenged his whole career.  One Greef line year (with Ek) and now we’re stuck with him forever. Now we’ve got T-bag too.  Another player doing 20 foot curls through neutral zone 10 feet behind the play 

another example of gross mismanagement of assets

On the shelf after two games. Yah this ain’t hard to predict.  Foligno isn’t far behind.  Hopefully he makes it thru December and gets his first shot on goal

[Pewterschmidt]

I predicted these two dolts would be relevant every 5-6 games so they should do something tomorrow.  Fight?  Big hit? Maybe

 hockey play, not likely.  These two are Ryan Reeves but less likable
