hf101 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Surprisingly Gustafsson didn't make the trip to Florida. I would have thought with the team building activities planned Gustafsson wouldhave been participating.http://www.csnphilly.com/hockey-philadelphia-flyers/news/Gustafsson-playing-like-younger-Kimmo?blockID=592238&feedID=704 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I always wondered how that worked. Do the injured travel? If not then why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I always wondered how that worked. Do the injured travel? If not then why.I don't think there is any specific policy and it probably varies from team to team situation to situation. Remember when Lindros was banned from the team while injured? However players such as Pronger and Timonen have traveled. While trying to figure out how Gustafsson's injury is preventing him from being with the team I found this:euroflyers Teemu HErik Gustafsson is out this week with a wrist injury. Will see a doctor today (Nov 9) to determine if it needs to be operated.Thus my guess is he is in limbo. If he has had or will have surgery, then he goes on IR and frees space to call up another defender.....(which is a problem, because of the need to clear waivers for Bartulis, and Walker. If not and a d-man is still needed then he will probably have go back to the Phantoms to make cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 From Philly.com this morning:Breakaways. The Flyers scrapped their original plan to have Erik Gustafsson join them in Naples, Fla. Instead, the injured defenseman (wrist) has continued to rehabilitate in Philadelphia. GM Paul Holmgren said a decision will be made Saturday on whether Gustafsson will join the team for Sunday's game against Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Rehab, would have been a better term to use than limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
