I’d be interested in yours and other MDs’ in the forum opinions on the differences between the American and European systems when it comes to organ donations, etc. I only know that Spain’s is considered an excellent system.

Mercy, unreal. I wish her the best

They haven't said other than minor and day to day. He stood up and did an interview yesterday so my guess is maybe soreness or something?

What is Tuch’s issue right now?

Good lord, that thread title doesn’t even do it justice. A transplant too? Crazy.

Awful to read. Very fortunate that a donor was found in such a short time. Family>everything.

I don't believe that. Second: probably none

I can't believe he is here. I mean this with absolutely zero judgement on Rasmus. But if this was my wife and I had "never work again money" you would be hard pressed to get me back to "the office". It certainly takes a lot of strength and resolve to show up to work thousands of miles away from your recovering wife.

Here's the link to Rasmus Dahlin's foundation: https://www.rasmusdahlinfoundation.com/giving-page-1-1

First statement: Then, what is depth? And how many teams in the NHL have it -- eight? As an example, Colorado had no depth last year. They rode two elite players (MacKinnon/Makar -- who missed a combined 5 games all year) through a mass of injuries and the shoddiest of goaltending early on. They were a period from going 13-13 to start the season until Dahlin got injured (which sent the Sabres - also no depth last season) spiraling out of control. Colorado also then fixed their goaltending which we know is an impossibility here except for Levi ascending. Second statement: This is a fact. All summer our only debate was which combinations would be among the forwards. But how many non-tanking teams have more than 1 spot "open" after the first surge of UFA?

Agreed. Also, in the past 18 months, how many teams have flipped 3 higher-roster players than Peterka Cozens and Mittelstadt?

I hope she recovers fully, scary stuff right there.

They can be core pieces, I guess. Norris is paid like one, his durability will determine his worth. Kesselring is their 4th best Dman so that is on the edge of “core”. I think he will elevate Power’s progress so there is that. If Norris plays 65+ games, that will be better than 82 Cozens games. He was brought in to be a part of the core. Kesselring is a hope to become a part of the core. Winning teams have a core of stars that they roll out (Bobrovsky, Barkov, Reinhart) ( Vasilevskiy, Hedman, Kucherov, Point) but they also have some “core” role players.

shocking. Wishing them all the best in the recovery.

Agree…..and in my wildest dreams I also hope Doan can eventually become the “Foligno” of the Dale McCourt trade. I would love to see him become a top 6 player who can add some intensity and a physical presence that could help the top 6. Maybe too much wishful thinking on my part though.

None in terms of making the roster. There is plenty within the roster. Tage, Tuch and Norris are the only players with defined roles on the depth chart. All kinds of variations after that.

A stark reminder that hockey is just a game — never take your loved ones for granted. Wishing her and Rasmus all the best; it sounds like they both embody a true warrior spirit

That is crazy! The list for a new heart is very long, luckily she was young and healthy and had some connections in the background. Rehab will take some time and there is still a life to live on immunosupressants. But considering the worst case scenario, this is a huge victory for Her.

I had noticed Ras had been very quiet this summer and thought it was kinda weird he wasn’t on the podium yesterday. How utterly terrifying.

Omg she needed a heart transplant

omg

That's not true. Norris is a top 6 forward. Kesselring is a top 4 defender. He added 2 core pieces.

Benson’s playmaking could shine this year playing with TNT & Norris, two shooters. His defensive game is already at a great level so this part of his game can take a step forward. Tuch and Greenway will push Geertsen to the fringe, where he should be until the Sabres get bullied. Lindy saying he can play wing or D and be an enforcer means he will be a press box hero until muscle is needed.
