Snapshots: Patrick, Kalynuk, Panthers, Granlund

May 31, 2020 at 3:56 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 8 Comments

The Philadelphia Flyers are expected to be quite healthy whenever the league begins their 24-team tournament. The team is expected to get back James van Riemsdyk (fractured right index finger) and Philippe Myers (fractured right kneecap). However, the news remains grim for young center Nolan Patrick, who has missed the entire 2019-20 season with migraine issues.

Philadelphia Inquirer’s Sam Carchidi notes that the second-overall pick in the 2017 NHL draft hasn’t seen much improvement and seriously doubts the team would be willing to put the 21-year-old out on the ice if he could re-injure himself during the 24-team playoffs. It’s much more likely the Flyers will allow him to heal throughout the summer and hope that he is ready to go whenever training camp gets underway for the 2020-21 season, which could be anywhere between November to January.

Even if Philadelphia believed Patrick was ready to contribute, Carchidi points out that it doesn’t make much sense to break up the team’s chemistry that led them to a first-round bye in the playoffs. Throwing a player who hasn’t played since Apr. 2, 2019 isn’t necessarily a good way to hold onto that chemistry.

  • In a separate article, Carchidi writes that the Philadelphia Flyers are in negotiations with their 2017 seventh-round pick, Wyatt Kalynuk, who decided to forego his senior season at Wisconsin and can become a free agent later this summer. The 23-year-old offensive defenseman was an all-Big Ten selection after scoring seven goals and 28 points.
  • NHL.com’s Jameson Olive interviewed Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon, who states that along with regular players on the team’s roster, the Panthers expect to add several prospects to the playoff roster, including forwards Owen Tippett, Henrik Borgstrom and defenseman Brady Keeper. Tippett could be an interesting player, who was a first-round pick back in 2017 and appeared in seven games back in the 2017-18 season, but was returned to junior. He scored 19 goals in 46 games with Springfield this year in the AHL. Borgstrom struggled this year, mainly playing in the AHL after playing 50 games with Florida in 2018-19, but still has the potential to become a solid NHL forward, while Keeper finished out his rookie season in the AHL, faring well. “I’m sure we’ll have a few of our top prospects there,” Tallon said. “We’ll narrow it down to see how many [Joel Quenneville] wants. We still have to wait for the league [to give] an exact number.”
  • Edmonton Journal’s Kurt Leavins reports that while forward Markus Granlund has already signed a contract with Ufa Salavat Yulaev in the KHL for next season, expect the forward to be part of the Edmonton Oilers’ “Black Aces” taxi squad when the 24-team playoffs begin later this summer. Granlund remains under contract with the Oilers until the season is over and should be able to provide veteran depth for the team in case of injuries. Granlund played in 34 games with the Oilers this season with three goals and four points, but did spend quite a bit of time in the AHL this year, something he hadn’t been forced to do in years.

    Ive had a fair share of migranes before, but nowhere near a chronic migrane condition. i cant imagine how unpleasant such a condition would be.

      @DarkSide830 – Speaking (again) from personal experience, it is really a doggie-downer for your quality of life. I just had an episode the other day, that prevented me from doing my grocery shopping until 2 days later. It’s one thing to have a strong headache due to a change in weather, but migraines can just come out of left field. I just hope the kid can find somebody in the medical community to get to the bottom of it and get him healthy again.

    I have never seen evidence to suggest a (bad) hockey play results in migraines, UNLESS it has to do with head-shots. If that is, in fact, the case, he could be sidelined for a very long time, since he doesn’t appear to be getting better. Concussions are bad enough, but compounding the problem with migraines, as well, is uncool. He may need a few trips to a top-flight specialist to get to the bottom of this.

    And, as for you, G, “Dave” Tallon sends his regards! :)

      G! – Dave? Dave’s not here, man! :) (You’ll have to do a little digging in the old memory archives for that one!) As for the car backfiring, that could’ve been me after I cleaned up the old carb on the mower…actually, more smoke than noise, as I think I added a little too much oil today…

    And, we would all be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge Holger’s correction for Dale Tallon. I probably would’ve noticed earlier, but there seems to be smoky mower oil clouds in the area affecting my eyesight today… ;) Sometimes it’s just harder to concentrate on what I’m reading with Cafe Ibiza’s “Apres Ski” running in my head…
