canoli Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wow that really sucks for him...with all the time he missed last season he must've been raring to go this year. Now he's out again. Can't remember what he injured last year...hope it's not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 welcome to Philadelphia, Ivan Provorov! (and, of course, we hope that MDZ gets better real quick!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a contract year for him so I am sure he was hoping to have a big year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Flyers say Michael Del Zotto out 4-5 weeks with a "lower-body injury." Broke his wrist last year so not the same injury. Things got ugly real quick regarding the cap--didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 So.....does this mean Provorov will make team??? McDud disposition ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 They are down 2 defensemen right now. I think he had made it anyway, but IMO this virtually guarantees it. I don't see them demoting him and then recalling someone from LV. Not the way this kid is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Being down two D-men and starting the season out West, the Flyers will likely have to put MDZ on LTIR and recall someone for the road trip. It will be interesting to see if it's Morin that gets Hexy's call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Boy, the Injury Gods are playing a hand early on. I think we see two youngins stay up. Our hats have to go off to Pryor and staff for their draft prowess. . . . About the only reason I can think for not keeping them is a desire not to start the ELC earlier than planned. I suspect we still need to trim cap space. I suspect VDV and the Rooskie go. But thinking out of the box, what might happen if Mac goes down....we can only save $950K but he isn't going to get claimed (unfortunately). On the other hand, Lyubmivov (or whatever...as long as he isn't a Communist) may be a useful addition from what folks say. By the same token...Read....another possible out-of-the-box waiver. Same 950K savings limit but for all we know....he is destined for the expansion draft. Who knows, maybe our esteemed GM is working the phones for an early season trade....Streit looks damn good.... Monday at 5 will be an interesting deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're terming it "lower body" and it's actually the wrist, they're either confused about anatomy, or MDZ had his wrist somewhere embarrassing.

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 They said it was Del Zotto's left knee. It's either a deep bone bruise or a strained ligament. Either way, 4 to 5 weeks isn't that bad. It will probably be 8 to 10 games at the most. The defense should be able to hold up until then. Provorov officially becomes the number one defender. How crazy is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbelMorpheus Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'd love to see Konecny make it. Provorov has got to be a given. Would also really like to see Weal playing with the big guys. Who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ8812 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Remember how everyone wanted to trade our extra defenseman before the season even started? I expected injuries, but not before the season even started So heading into the season opener, assuming we don't have any more injuries, we've got: Streit, MacDonald, Gudas, Schultz, Gostisbehere and Provorov. I guess Brennan will be recalled to be the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terp Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Here's an illustration of why the Flyers have a shot at being a better club this year: depth. They lost arguably their best defenseman for a month and their defensive line up is still solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
