Why do you allow yourself to get sucked into the same BS day after day on here? Just ignore the guys you don't want to deal with and you'll be surprised how much longer you can tolerate this place

Yep, just need to get Dobson off there and we're good

Sounds like what I was thinking may have happened is correct. False positive on a rapid and waiting on pcr results. If that is actually the case hopefully it comes back negative for Dobson also.

Until we hear of a confirmed surgery, I'm not so sure he won't be back before season's end.

If they do end up acquiring someone with even a mediocre-sized cap hit we'll know he almost certainly won't be back until the playoffs, if at all. There's no way his $7M cap hit could fit under the cap if they acquired another significant asset.

- Hockeyislife

I have no idea? I’m ASSUMING both him and Pageau had some kind of exposure and or they most likely had a positive rapid test (which are completely inaccurate and they shouldn’t even be using them) which lead to a pcr which takes more time to get the results from. Since Dobson was a last minute add to the covid list I’ll assume he got his pcr later hence the later results then Pageau...

Deleted the original post for corrections:

They all get PCR tests on a daily basis. They also have rapid tests available for game-days.

https://www.si.com/hockey...w-covid-19-protocols-mean

Relevant portion:



1. Addition of POC Testing for U.S.-Based Clubs

“In addition to daily, lab-based PCR testing, the League is in the process of providing each U.S. Club with point of care (POC) rapid testing to be administered on game days to all Players and Club personnel (as well as on-ice officials) who work in or around the bench area during games. It is expected that this testing will be in place as early as today for most markets. Although these tests have a slightly lower ability to detect the presence of COVID-19 than lab-based PCR testing, they will provide prompt, same-day results that will reduce the chance of game participation by individuals who might have active infection. If a “testee” tests positive, such individual will be immediately isolated as per the Positive Test Protocol and contact tracing will promptly ensue. The individual will not participate in the game that day.

"The League is currently working directly with the seven Canadian Clubs on the availability of similar or supplemental testing resources.”

I think we would be lucky to get him back by the playoffs. That’s my diagnosis and professional opinion which is respected worldwide.

Definitely true.
That said, the Isles have only told us he's out indefinitely with a lower body injury and gave him a designation that he'd be out at minimum 10 games, which is about 2.5 weeks with this schedule. Even a Grade I or Grade II MCL or LCL sprain can take up to 4-5 weeks to heal and rehab. All Trotz confirmed was that he "won't be with the team for a little while".

Now I get that he won't come out and say 'for the season' because it could impact trade leverage, but as you said, that hand becomes obvious if they look to acquire significant salary.

For now, I would guess he's on a 3-6 week timeline and the Isles will try to survive during that period.

Seems like the caps are completely blowing their load all over the Sabres tonight. Hopefully they have nothing left for tomorrow
