Don't forget maybe also Marner:

Berube willing to explore using someone who hasn’t played Centre since he was a Don Mills Flyer, vs the other guy who has played centre in international tournaments and AHL and NHL minutes.

EDM is about halfway down the waiver priority list. TOR near the bottom.

They REALLY liked the 2019 Leafs.

Good. Didn't want him here.

McDavid really is their GM. About to go sign Andreas Johnsson and trade for Pierre Engvall.

If Matthews had a real back issue, would he be able to make it through a round-trip 8h transatlantic flight?

I dunno, but the Gulfstream G550 looks pretty comfy.

I know the Germans have a specialty clinic dealing with PRP therapy, often specifically for the neck and back, I dunno if that's what Matthews is doing.

Toronto's "Matthews has NOT had a setback" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by their shirt.

Oh yeah, flying to Europe to see some specialist screams "nothing to see here!" territory. FRICK

God knows I like to fly to Germany for a ‘general check up’.

This is the funniest post I've read in awhile.

 

[ZBBM]

What the hell is body work? Dude sounds like a '98 Civic.

This is also the funniest post I've read in awhile.

I have been a few times to generally watch their hockey and check up on their lovely, lovely beer

Any excuse to use the corporate jet.

With Knies injury, it's approximately 50% of the forwards that are out of the line up now.

32 Thoughts: Why the Bruins fired Jim Montgomery and what's next

After the Bruins failed to show consistent "pushback" it was time to make a change behind the bench. Plus, where the salary cap could go next, thoughts on the trade market, and more in this week's notes.

10. The word that created the most panic in this week’s Auston Matthews news was “Germany.” As one person laughed, “If he was getting the same treatment in Hamilton, Niagara Falls or Oakville, no one would care. But, because it’s Germany, people are freaking out.”
The hockey world hasn’t seen it as much, but Kobe Bryant started the trend among North Americans. Christian McCaffrey did it this season in dealing with his Achilles problem. Usain Bolt did it years ago, along with a long list of soccer players. (Reportedly, LeBron James, too, but I couldn’t find proof.) Why? First, he clearly trusts whoever he’s seeing there. Second, treatments not available in North America these athletes swear by. The thing I always use as my guide is this: do people sound panicked about this injury? The answer in this case, is “no.” Sounds like the goal is for Matthews to play next Wednesday in Florida.

Let me just fire this into the thread: https://www.deutsches-schulterzentrum.de/?lang=en
(I have no actual information, just picking an upper body part that affects shooting but not sitting, and typing it into Google with Munich specialist)

At least he isn't trying to resolve his issues with a red lamp to the balls and a chakra cleanse.

only half of them are in the line up.

It was the age of the D that concerned me more regarding injuries

I saw someone say AM34 visited a back specialist in Germany when he played in Zurich. He supposedly went back to that same specialist. No idea of the validity of said information. **SHRUGS**

Maybe he flew to Turkey to get some support for his hairline too.

In any case, the Munich treatments makes this post-game comment much less out of left field:
